Have a flag in the timer function:

[code]
isTimerActive = true

local function
isTimerActive = false
end
tmr = timer.performWithDelay(duration, functionName, iteration)

if(isTimerActive == false) then
—statement
end
[/code] [import]uid: 14018 topic_id: 8030 reply_id: 28592[/import]

#3

isTimerActive = true
function notActive()
isTimerActive = false
end
tmr = timer.performWithDelay(1000, createBall,loop)
if(isTimerActive == false) then
print(“Timer Ended”)
scoreLabel:setText("Your Score :: "…score)
end

function isn’t called
I test by print function

I don’t understand your code.

local function
isTimerActive = false
end

when this function call ?? no functionName and argument ?? [import]uid: 42761 topic_id: 8030 reply_id: 28636[/import]

Sorry my code was bad, forgot to include functionName()

use this code:

isTimerActive = true  
local function notActive()  
 isTimerActive = false  
end  
timer.performWithDelay(1000, notActive, 1)

The timer calls the function notActive after 1 second only once. To make it loop, you just replace the 1 with 0, but why would you want it to loop? [import]uid: 14018 topic_id: 8030 reply_id: 28646[/import]

#5

timer.performWithDelay(1000, createBall,20)
timer.performWithDelay(1000, notActive,1)

notActive function isn’t call. [import]uid: 42761 topic_id: 8030 reply_id: 28737[/import]

Maybe there’s something wrong with the createBall-function [import]uid: 14018 topic_id: 8030 reply_id: 28741[/import]
