darkwulfv	Do timers count in real-time seconds or game-time seconds?

The_AwaKening	Timers count in GameTime seconds, taking into consideration lag and such.

darkwulfv	Ok thanks, but I have another question. In the Native, TimerStart, these are the parameters. JASS: takes timer whichTimer, real timeout, boolean periodic, code handlerFunc returns nothing I have whichTimer, timeout, and periodic filled, but I don't know what they mean by code handlerFunc. Anyone know the answer?

That would be a function that runs at the Timer Expiration. Set to null if you aren't going to use it.

Very simple example:

JASS:

function TimerEnd takes nothing returns nothing
 local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
    call DoNothing()
endfunction

function Timer takes nothing returns nothing
 local timer t = CreateTimer()
    call TimerStart(t,40,false,function TimerEnd)
endfunction

blu_da_noob	Code is the function to be run when the timer expires (with the GetExpiredTimer() even response). As pointed out above, use null if you don't want it.
