Basic timer question

Questions about Thunkable

hello @jane,

I am sorry but I still have so difficulties with the timer.
If I understood the concept, the timer need to be “fired” in order to user the function start and stop.
stop will stop the timer if it is enabled and start will start it again and this until the end of the interval ?

If I want to make a timer that will never stop only on user actions I will need to use the loop to do it ?
thanks for your help
Alex

Yes, @alex_ezacae
You are basically correct in your explanation. In most cases you will have both Loop and Enabled to True and will control it with the start/stop blocks. The Fire block is where you will place the code blocks that want them to get executed every time the timer reaches the count in the number of seconds or milliseconds.
