Control a Timer
When you choose Control a Timer for an action, you are presented with a second line where you can Create/Edit Timers, pick a timer that you have already created and select the action for the timer
If you choose Create/Edit Timers you will be presented with a popup where you can create a new timer -OR- select among timers you have already created.
If you enter a new name in the dialogue it will check that it doesn't already exist and then create a new one.
When you click "Save" on the dialogue, your new timer is created and will be selected as the timer of choice.
If you click on Create/Edit Timers with a timer selected, the popup dialogue will offer you the additional option to rename it.
There are only four actions available for controlling a timer. A timer always counts UP or measures elapsed time.
Timers can be useful in many different events, since a timer's value can be used as a Trigger or a Condition. You can maipulate the timer from Actions in one event and use it to trigger Actions in another.
