Methods

add(delay, callback, callbackContext, arguments) → {Phaser.TimerEvent}

Adds a new Event to this Timer. The event will fire after the given amount of 'delay' in milliseconds has passed, once the Timer has started running. Call Timer.start() once you have added all of the Events you require for this Timer. The delay is in relation to when the Timer starts, not the time it was added. If the Timer is already running the delay will be calculated based on the timers current time.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
delay	number		The number of milliseconds that should elapse before the Timer will call the given callback.
callback	function		The callback that will be called when the Timer event occurs.
callbackContext	object		The context in which the callback will be called.
arguments	*	<repeatable>	The values to be sent to your callback function when it is called.

Returns:

Phaser.TimerEvent -

The Phaser.TimerEvent object that was created.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 208

adjustEvents()

Adjusts the time of all pending events and the nextTick by the given baseTime.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 521

clearPendingEvents()

Clears any events from the Timer which have pendingDelete set to true and then resets the private _len and _i values.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 362

destroy()

Destroys this Timer. Any pending Events are not dispatched. The onComplete callbacks won't be called.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 614

loop(delay, callback, callbackContext, arguments) → {Phaser.TimerEvent}

Adds a new looped Event to this Timer that will repeat forever or until the Timer is stopped. The event will fire after the given amount of 'delay' milliseconds has passed once the Timer has started running. Call Timer.start() once you have added all of the Events you require for this Timer. The delay is in relation to when the Timer starts, not the time it was added. If the Timer is already running the delay will be calculated based on the timers current time.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
delay	number		The number of milliseconds that should elapse before the Timer will call the given callback.
callback	function		The callback that will be called when the Timer event occurs.
callbackContext	object		The context in which the callback will be called.
arguments	*	<repeatable>	The values to be sent to your callback function when it is called.

Returns:

Phaser.TimerEvent -

The Phaser.TimerEvent object that was created.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 246

order()

Orders the events on this Timer so they are in tick order. This is called automatically when new events are created.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 326

pause()

Pauses the Timer and all events in the queue.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 479

remove(event)

Removes a pending TimerEvent from the queue.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
event	Phaser.TimerEvent	The event to remove from the queue.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 306

removeAll()

Removes all Events from this Timer and all callbacks linked to onComplete, but leaves the Timer running. The onComplete callbacks won't be called.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 599

repeat(delay, repeatCount, callback, callbackContext, arguments) → {Phaser.TimerEvent}

Adds a new TimerEvent that will always play through once and then repeat for the given number of iterations. The event will fire after the given amount of 'delay' milliseconds has passed once the Timer has started running. Call Timer.start() once you have added all of the Events you require for this Timer. The delay is in relation to when the Timer starts, not the time it was added. If the Timer is already running the delay will be calculated based on the timers current time.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
delay	number		The number of milliseconds that should elapse before the Timer will call the given callback.
repeatCount	number		The number of times the event will repeat once is has finished playback. A repeatCount of 1 means it will repeat itself once, playing the event twice in total.
callback	function		The callback that will be called when the Timer event occurs.
callbackContext	object		The context in which the callback will be called.
arguments	*	<repeatable>	The values to be sent to your callback function when it is called.

Returns:

Phaser.TimerEvent -

The Phaser.TimerEvent object that was created.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 226

resume()

Resumes the Timer and updates all pending events.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
delay	number	<optional>	0	The number of milliseconds that should elapse before the Timer will start.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 265

stop(clearEvents)

Stops this Timer from running. Does not cause it to be destroyed if autoDestroy is set to true.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
clearEvents	boolean	<optional>	true	If true all the events in Timer will be cleared, otherwise they will remain.

Source - time/Timer.js, line 288

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
time	number	The time from the core game clock.

Internal:

• This member is internal (protected) and may be modified or removed in the future.
