Image:32px-Circle-style-warning.png Important Note: The function that should be called, must be public, meaning it has to be forwarded.


Image:32px-Ambox_warning_orange.png Note: The use of many timers will result in increased memory/cpu usage. 


forward message();
 
public OnGameModeInit()
{
    print("Starting timer...");
    SetTimer("message", 1000, false); // Set a timer of 1000 miliseconds (1 second)
}
 
public message()
{
    print("1 second has passed.");
}
