Timer¶

Inherits: Node < Object

A countdown timer.

Description¶

Counts down a specified interval and emits a signal on reaching 0. Can be set to repeat or "one-shot" mode.

Note: Timers are affected by Engine.time_scale, a higher scale means quicker timeouts, and vice versa.

Note: To create a one-shot timer without instantiating a node, use SceneTree.create_timer.
