Timer Start

Start or restart a Timer.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Timer	The Timer variable to use. If the variable is empty, PlayMaker creates a new timer for you.
Duration	Timer duration in seconds. Values below 0 are treated as 0.
Use Realtime	When enabled, the timer uses unscaled realtime and ignores Time.timeScale.

What It Does

• Starts the timer if it already exists.
• Restarts the timer if it was already running, paused, or completed.
• Stores the chosen duration and realtime setting on the timer.

Example

Use Timer Start when an ability enters cooldown:

1. Create a Timer variable named Cooldown.
2. Start it with a duration of 3.
3. In another state, use Timer Check Done to wait for the cooldown to finish.
