replacing the "after" timer...

chaley

I bought a template that uses a bunch of timers for a bunch of different events that are all set to the "after" mode. Does anyone know a safe / optimized way to replace those timers?

I thought you hated all that optimisation stuff?

There are a couple methods here:

Sometimes i wonder....
This is a drag and drop engine , why cant GS make all this optimization backstage...... ?!
Let us drag a simple timer behavior , but in the complier at your server replace this behaviour with a simple rule and attribute , should be easy.. oh well, optimization it is

Hey there,

The after timer is not so bad. Its the every timer you want to watch out for.

Since the after timer will stop checking once the time has past.

Hope that helps

cheers

"Every" timer is even simpler !
make a new attribute - call it "TIMER" - index - set its value to '0' !
make a rule:
when attribute TIMER = self.time%(set what ever value you want)
Do rules !

Finish.

Cheers.
