Would this be possible: Timer triggering its own function.

zeroXD	JASS: function MyFunc takes nothing returns nothing local timer t = CreateTimer() call TimerStart( t, 0.5, true, MyFunc ) endfunction I know that, if it would work, it would loop forever, but the question is: Would this work, crash the editor or give a syntax error? EDIT: Cant check myself becasue I dont have WE avaliable right now.

Vexorian	It works, and I use it all the time. In this case the whole looping argument as true is ineffective since each time you start a timer it stops it if it was already stopped, of course, you would have to use function MyFunc instead of MyFunc

zeroXD	Yes, it was just an excample. I got a function which spreads fire damage the same way as damage does with disease cloud, so it is very usefull for me.
