timers behaving weird

[kelly1111]

question: I presure plate connected to a timer (interval 3) , the presure plate to set onactivate timer start

the timer connected to a spawner and a counter. The counter decrements from 6 and the spawner activates each interval

the problem I have is, that the timer fires even without me stepping on the presure plate (plate is set to party only) .. I dont understand why it starts out of itself?

Can anyone figure out what I am doing wrong? ... i need it to start only when stepping on the presure plate

TimerComponent starts out running by default. You can get the behaviour you want by disabling the TimerComponent (uncheck its box) in the editor.

On every one of my maps where I use a timer, I include a script that has the following line:

Code: Select all

my_timer.timer:stop();

This code runs as soon as the Map Level loads, which prevents the timer from running automatically. This limits my timer to running only when the proper event (eg, a floor_trigger) takes place. I usually have a single Script Object on each level whose sole purpose is to run what I call "Initialization Commands."

If you do this on your map, the timer won't run until the pressure plate is clicked. Hope this helps.
