Timer Elapsed event

[Arhowk]

Does the event

call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( )

create a timer or does every event use one single internal timer? If they all use the same timer, i feel DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer()) would cause issues

i think they are handled differently. i dont believe u can destroy a triggerregistertimer.

also y use event single ?

if its just a single event u can start a timer in the init trigger and then do ur actions when timer runs out. this way u can destroy it and u may not need the trigger.

It uses an internal timer similar in accuracy/behavior as CreateTimer(), but you do not have access to it. Simple test:

function X takes nothing returns nothing
    if GetExpiredTimer() == null then
        call BJDebugMsg("null")
    else
        call BJDebugMsg("not null")
    endif
endfunction

function Init takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(t, 3, false)
    call TriggerAddAction(t, function X)
endfunction

It will show "null", therefore calling DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer()) will have no effect (confirmed by a test I just ran).
