it would be useful to have an event that fires when all iterations of a timer are complete

(combined with my other request for the timer to start immediately this could be

timer.performWithDelay(1000, doSomething, 100, {onComplete=finishSomething, immediate=true})

presumably this wouldnt break old code either, as the first 3 parameters are the same

thanks
j.

note i did actually find a fix to fire the first call immediately

I'm looking for something like an onComplete for a timer, too. Would be very nice to have such a feature.

What are the other options to implement a similar functionality with the given Lua functions? I guess i would do it like this right now:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

local counter = 100
 
local function listener( event )
    print( "Doing some stuff here" )
    counter = counter - 1
end
 
timer.performWithDelay(1000, listener, counter)
 
while counter >= 0 do
   print ("Waiting for timer to finish") 
end
 
print("Proceeding in code")
