Create a timer that only is active for specified time?!

[pepper82]

Hi all,
I know there is the "Periodical" event in Skript, but I am looking for a performance friendly way to check some variables every second.

In Skript I would do it like this:

every 1 second:
do something

But the event is always running, even when I am doing nothing or it is not needed (e.g. Minigames, Events etc.)

Does anybody know of another option to have such a timer running but only as long as I need it?

I think in Java you can create tasks for specific period and then delete them again. How to do something similar in Skript?

Thanks for your help!

Just add a condition to the event. Check for whether a variable is set or something...

I know, but not what I am looking for. I do not even want to check anything after my event / minigame is over / not active.

Use a while loop then.

Hmm i'm not so good in english, but in skript. so, do you mean maybe like this?

command /minigame:
  trigger:
    send "Bla"
    send "here set up team or somethings"
    #theeennnn example
    set {_bla} to true #Sset some variables to true
    while {_bla} is true: #And check if variables is true (He will start to loop while minigame active)
        #Reamin add some Wait events. example 1 seconds
        wait a seconds
        if size of {_Team.A::*} less than 1:
            delete {_bla} #End the Loop(Timer)
            send "Team B won!"
         else:
             send "Time are running and running..."
