Question about Javascript?

Hello,
in the game catchingBirds there is the javascript “function timelineEventHandler(doc, e)”. For a project I’m looking for a way to stop this timer with a mouse click and then end it. I would be very grateful for useful tips, since I’ve been spending some time with it, unfortunately without any results.

Hi Oskar,

You can store the timer id returned by setInterval in the doc global object, and pass it to clearInterval function in your mouse click event.

// start the timer in a function / event handler
doc.myTimerId = setInterval(yourFunction, yourInterval);

// stop the timer in another function / event handler
if (doc.myTimerId) {
  clearInterval(doc.myTimerId);
  delete doc.myTimerId;
}

Regards

Hi,
Great, that was the impetus I was looking for. Sometimes you can no longer see the forest in front of many trees. Thanks.
