Timer (event)

This page needs some serious TLC, stat! Please help us by cleaning it, fixing it up, or sparing it some love. (Reason: A demonstration on the use and handling of this event would be beneficial. AfterLifeLochie 16:11, 30 November 2012 (MSK))

Event timer
Fired when a timer completes.
Returned Object 1	The timer's unique ID value (returned when os.startTimer() is called).

Example
This code will continuously start an internal timer and fire an event. If the event is not the timer, then it will break the loop
Code	while true do os.startTimer(1) event = os.pullEvent() if event == "timer" then print("Too slow!") else print("Darn, you beat me!") break end end
