vrTimer.vrTimer

The timer class is responsible to call time based functionality. To use it just create a timer object and connect the callback functionality you need.

init(interval, singleshot)
(Constructor)

The constructor of the vrTimer class. Actually there are 3 constructors for this class.

vrTimer() creates a timer callback object that fires repeatedly every render frame.

vrTimer(interval) creates a timer callback object that fires repeatedly in a defined interval.

vrTimer(interval,singleshot) creates a timer callback object that fires in a defined interval.

CAUTION: The timer loop runs synchronous with the render loop, so if your render speed goes down to a few frames per second the timers won't get called more often!

Parameters:

interval (float (64bit)) - The interval the timer should fire in seconds. 0.04 (1/25) means 25 times per seconds.
singleshot (bool) - Defines if the timer should fire only once (true) or repeatedly (false).

Overrides: vrAEBase.vrAEBase.__init__

setInterval(interval)

Changes the timer interval.

CAUTION: If the object was a singleshot timer and has already fired you need to call addLoop to put it back into the behavior loop.

Parameters:

interval (float (64bit)) - The interval in seconds.

setSingleShot(singleshot)

Changes the singleshot behaviour.

CAUTION: If the object was a singleshot timer and has already fired you need to call addLoop to put it back into the behavior loop.

Parameters:

singleshot (bool) - True for a single timer event and false for repeated timer events.
