Timer Sensor is same as Cycle Sensor except it has own cycle that can be modified by players.

Tips

• The game engine appears to evaluates 5 ticks per second, so intervals are rounded to units of 0.2 s.

Bugs

• Like all time-based sensors, it is very imprecise for large durations measurement at high cycle count.
