## What is this?

**A library which provides easy and advanced timers for module developers.**

This project is inspired by

[mk's timer library](https://atelier801.com/topic?f=6&t=875052), make sure to

support that project too :heart:

**_Background_**

As normal players - who aren't in module team - aren't allowed to use the Module

API's timers (`system.newTimer` and `system.removeTimer`), I decided to create a

brand new, advanced timer system for the benefit of all!

**_There are many capabilities for these timers_**

- Create timers

- Reset timers

- Kill timers

- Loop timers

- Execute functions after/before mature

- And more!

## How to use?

To use this library you need to insert this libraries code in top of your code.

[Use the full code _(Recommended for studying)_](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seniru/Timers4TFM/master/src/timer.lua)

|

[Use the minified version _(Recommended for production use)_](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seniru/Timers4TFM/master/src/timer.min.lua)



## Examples

#### Creating new timer

```lua

--insert the library code here

local timer1 = Timer("timer1", function() end, 5000, false) -- Creating a very basic timer with a timeout value of 5000

function eventLoop()

  Timer.process() -- You need to call this method inside eventLoop to start and process timers

end

```

[Documentation](https://seniru.github.io/Timers4TFM/docs/src/1.html)

### Creating timers with callbacks

```lua

--a function to greet a user

function greet(name, nice)

    print("Hello" .. name .. "It seems you are " .. (nice and "nice" or "not nice"))

end

-- storing the timer in a variable is optional. Storing will be useful if you need to access information about the timer

Timer("callback", greet, 2000, false, "Seniru", true) --setting the callback to our greet function and pass "Seniru" and true as arguments

function eventLoop()

    Timer.process()

end

--Run this code to see the results!

```

[Documentation](https://seniru.github.io/Timers4TFM/docs/src/1.html)

### Looping timers

```lua

Timer("looping", function() print("prints") end, 3000, true)

-- This would print `prints` every 3 seconds. Note that you need to specify the time in milliseconds

```
