Timer

Timer

Fires a color event on the board at a fixed interval, acting as a clock signal for other color-event-driven decorators.

Typical use: drive periodic effects such as toggling a DualTerrain or pulsing a ColorRelay — e.g. open and close a gate every 20 frames, or spawn an agent at regular intervals.
