[JASS] Error in timer

[Elite Slayer]

Good day fellow mappers,
I am busy working on a JASS-enhanced spell that calls down meteors to hir random points in an area, but that's not my problem. This spell is based on a timer to manage the spell's duration.

Please note I'm a beginner JASSer, so my problems are quite novice.
So, after creating a timer local and labelling it, I gave the call command to start it. Lalala, everything's fine...then IT happens:

call TimerStart(Timer, 25.00, true, ???)

The last bit of the TimerStart function requires a "code handlerFunc". What the heck is that? I've never encountered it before.

Any help or advice would be appreciated,
Thanks

It's a function to call when the timer expires. Leave it null if you don't want one called, but if this is for a spell, you almost definitely do.

function ExampleFunction takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

//...

call TimerStart(Timer,25.,true,function ExampleFunction)

Wow, thanks a lot, PurplePoot!!!
I never knew it was tha simple! Well, I guess that's the more common case for us JASS noobs

I'll be sure to give you credit when my first, pefected spell pack comes out.
