logic_timer

Template:Base point It fires an output at regular or random intervals. It can optionally alternate between a "high" and a"low" output.

Note:Enabling the entity resets its timer.

Tip:Use with logic_case for extremely random events.

KeyValues

Use Random Time <bool>

Makes the entity fire at random intervals. Range of values is restricted by the next two KVs.

Minimum Random Interval <float>

Maximum Random Interval <float>

If "Use Random Time" is enabled, these values define the range of values, in seconds, that the entity can choose from for random firing.

Refire Interval <float>

If "Use Random Time" is disabled, this is the interval between outputs in seconds.

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>

Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
