Passing &#039;&#039;&#039;0.0&#039;&#039;&#039; (or just 0) stops further timer events.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The timer persists over state changes, but gets removed when the script is reset. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Caveats&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;OpenSimulator Differences&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> • In OpenSimulator the timer period is hard limited to no smaller than 0.5 seconds.&lt;br&gt;<br /> • This can be changed by setting ScriptDelayFactor to a value less than 1.0 in the XEngine section of the ini file.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> • In SL several sources suggest that timer periods of [[http://http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llSetTimerEvent 0.04]] or [[http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting/quot-on-mouselook-quot/m-p/768291#M545 0.02]] are possible.&lt;br&gt;<br /> • But actual measurements show that time periods below 0.20 seconds are never achieved on SL. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Examples&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |&lt;source lang=&quot;lsl&quot;&gt;<br /> default<br /> {<br /> state_entry()<br /> {<br /> llSetTimerEvent(300); // five minutes: 5*60--no need to make LSL do this simple calculation<br /> }<br /> <br /> timer()<br /> {<br /> llOwnerSay(&quot;timeout&quot;);<br /> // llSetTimerEvent(0); (to stop the timer)<br /> }<br /> }<br /> &lt;/source&gt;<br /> |}<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Calling llSetTimerEvent replaces any existing timer value, and resets the countdown. In other words, if you call llSetTimerEvent(n) every n-1 seconds, the timer() event will never fire.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> To stop the timer, call llSetTimerEvent(0.0). It&#039;s good practice to do this in the state_exit() event of any state which uses a timer to avoid unintentionally having a timer running in the next state.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> See Also&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Events:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;<br /> • [[timer]] – event called every sec seconds &lt;br&gt;</div>
