A timer trigger is a very useful trigger that waits a specified number of seconds before executing actions. It is often used to start the first actions in the mission.
TimerTrigger
When active, counts down a specified number of seconds before executing actions.
| CurrentTime | The time the timer is at, will change when the TimerTrigger is active. |
|---|---|
| StartTime | Time that the Timer starts at when a ResetTimerAction is executed. |
| StopTime | Time at which the trigger fires. |
Notes: only one onscreen timer is possible (so if a new one is opened, it will replace any existing one).
Possible uses
- Use a TimerTrigger with a StopTime of 0 to trigger the first actions of the mission.
- Give the player some time to react.
Related
- You can use a TimerAdjustAction to change the CurrentTime by the amount specified in DeltaTime (positive or negative).
- You can use a ResetTimerAction to reset the CurrentTime to the StartTime.
- You can also keep time with a calculator.
See MSFS Mission Script - Triggers for an overview of triggers and more info about triggers in general.
