[vJASS] How to use timers

[eubz]

How do I use TIMER in Jass or vJass? Please, help.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Use the natives CreateTimer() TimerStart() PauseTimer() and DestroyTimer().

From there it really depends what you want to do with your timers.

This is a good tutorial on timers in JASS/vJASS:
http://www.thehelper.net/threads/how-to-use-timers-in-jass.145499/

It is a bit dated, but it is the most recent timer tutorial.

If you aren't familiar with structs, then use hashtables. If you are familiar with structs, then you can either use TimerUtils (easy API), Timer32 (also really easy), CTL (a bit more difficult but efficient for mapping), or stick with hashtables. (save the integer to the handle id of the timer, then load it) It is mostly personal preference.
