Timer management question

[alberto2345]

Hello,

I'm making a script with a few timers in it. One thing I'm not sure on is if I nil the variable that has the timer stored in it once I'm finished with it, would I still need to do killTimer before I nil it or is just making the variable nil already do enough?

Currently I'm killing the timer and then nilling the variable.

I'm mostly just worried about the timer still being active in some way if I "cut corners".

Thanks.

As far as I know, once a timer finishes executing (unless it's infinite) it kills itself automatically, and just needs to be unassigned from the variable. I may be wrong though.

You don't need to kill or unassign the timer once it's finished. It's nilled automatically like any other element.
