Test Timer

 
 
 

This compound uses a certain amount of time passing as defined in a Start Timer compound as a trigger for an event.

Plug its Result output into a Condition port of an If node (for example) or any node or compound that causes an execution.

If you're using states, plug its Result output into a Trigger port on a State compound or the Simulation Root node.

You also need to use the Init Timers compound to initialize the timers before you can use them.

For more information on states, see ICE Particle States; for more information on timers, see Setting Particle Timers.
