Godot 4.2.1
My timer doesn’t seem to start even when it should be:
func update_health():
var healthbar = $healthbar
healthbar.value = current_health
current_health = clamp(current_health, 0, 100)
if current_health >= 100:
healthbar.visible = false
elif current_health <= 0:
healthbar.visible = false
current_health = clamp(current_health,0,100)
player_alive = false
if current_health > 0:
player_alive = true
else:
healthbar.visible = true
func _on_regen_timeout():
if current_health < 100:
if in_combat == false:
if player_alive == true:
current_health = current_health + 10
if current_health > 100:
current_health = 100
func _on_in_combat_timer_timeout():
in_combat = false
func player_revive():
if player_alive == false:
$AnimatedSprite2D.play("death")
$revive.start()
if $revive.time_left <= 0:
print("Timer worked")
func _on_revive_timeout():
if player_alive ==false:
current_health = current_health + 100
print("im alive now")
player_alive = true

It looks like you have 3 timers. Which one is not starting? Where do you start them? Do they autostart?
the revive timer is the one that doesn’t seem to work
Do you have a picture of the revive timer’s inspector? Maybe it is misconfigured.

It won’t work because you’re not waiting for the timer to end. To do this, after the start, write “await $revive.timeout”, like this.
$revive.start()
await $revive.timeout
if $revive.time_left <= 0:
print("Timer worked")
p.s. To make the timer traceable, connect its signals through the inspector
I tried that and it didn’t change anything the timer is still not getting started and my player health isn’t going up
It’s not clear when and how are the functions player_revive and _on_revive_timeout called. Did you connect the timer signals from Inspector > Node > Signals?
player revive is in my physics process and the timer signal is connected to the player
I had the same problem, and I found out that .start() doesn’t just start the timer, it also restarts it, so if you have it running constantly it never reaches 0 it just gets restarted to its wait time.
