Ok, no problem about that, but is there a way to get the ids of the running timers?

I want something like this:

while (timer.numChildren > 0) do
timer.cancel( timer.numChildren )
end [import]uid: 8556 topic_id: 2066 reply_id: 6048[/import]

There is no list of running timers but you could make your own table of active timers in Lua.

In the BeebeGames Class Version 1.3, if you use my replacement to timer.performWithDelay(), which is performAfterDelay(), you’ll have a list of all active timers, and also be able to pause, resume, and cancel all active timers with one simple call.

Timers created with performAfterDelay() have the same capabilities as timer.performWithDelay(), but are able to be paused and resumed easily as well.
