This function allows you to reset the elapsed time in existing timers to zero. The function does not reset the 'times to execute' count on timers which have a limited amout of repetitions.

Syntax

bool resetTimer ( timer theTimer )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: timer:reset(...)


Required Arguments

  • theTimer: The timer whose elapsed time you wish to reset.

Returns

Returns true if the timer was successfully reset, false otherwise.

Example

-- This example shows how you can reset timer by using /rtimer command.

local timerElement = false

function timerFunction()
	print("Timer function executed at "..getTickCount())
end
timerElement = setTimer(timerFunction, 3000, 0)

function timerResetCommand()
	local validTimer = isTimer(timerElement)

	if validTimer then
		print("Timer has been resetted.")
		resetTimer(timerElement)
	end
end
addCommandHandler("rtimer", timerResetCommand)
