Start Interval

Overview

The Start Interval Node sets an Interval, which occurs every X Seconds (or Timeout (sec)). When the Start Interval Node fires, the Logic connected to the Output Pulse Socket will be repeated every X seconds. At the same time, OnStart is triggered immediately. An Instance ID will be created, thus serving as an input for the Reset Interval Node. If Reset Interval -- connected by the Instance ID -- is triggered, OnReset fires.

Important to note is that an Interval will continue firing until a Reset Interval Node is triggered. Without resetting it, it will run forever.

Scope: Project, Scene, Function.
