• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Repeat Timer

I want to create a timer that fires every sixty seconds. Do I have to create a series of timers or is there another way? thanks
 
Timer triggers don't actually stop at the end, they just go on and on, meaning: if you don't use it as a "oneshot" trigger it should shoot every 60 seconds. ;)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I once had a timer that kept on firing, and I didn't know why...
 
Repeat Trigger

Thorsten, thanks, that works fine. I just use an ObjectActivate to turn it off again later when I need to.
 
Late chime in on this one. :cool:

I like to have more control over when things are active and inactive so my preference would be to set the 60 second timer as one-shot but put an object activation action ("oba") set to fire at the end which will reactivate the trigger. Whenever I want to deactivate it, I would make a trigger for that and associate an oba that sets it's active state to false.

In fact, the current mission I'm working on involves numerous systems checks which need to be turned on/off constantly so, I have two oba's and a timer trigger for each property trigger: After it fires, the timer counts down and then reactivates the trigger. At some point later, another trigger will fire the action to deactivate it.

But that's just me. ;)
 
Yes, there are several ways of doing this stuff, I guess it's down to personal matters what way you choose. :D
