Simple timer overview

This is a simple timer module designed to track elapsed time and trigger events at specific intervals. The timer can emit two key signals during its operation:

  1. Update Signal:
  • Triggered every 0.1 seconds as the timer progresses.
  • This signal can be connected to functions that need to perform actions during the timer’s countdown.
  1. Timeout Signal:
  • Triggered when the timer finishes its countdown or reaches the specified time limit.
  • This signal can be used to perform an action once the timer has completed (e.g., triggering an event, stopping other functions, etc.).

How It Works

  1. Initialization:
  • The timer is initialized with a set amount of time (in seconds) and starts when activated.
  1. Update Signal:
  • Every 0.1 seconds, the timer increments the elapsed time and fires the update signal, passing the current elapsed time to any connected listeners. This allows functions to track or display the current progress of the timer.
  1. Timeout Signal:
  • When the timer reaches its target time, the timeout signal is fired, notifying any connected listeners that the timer has completed.
