Timed Trigger CopperCube Action

🕒 Timed Trigger

🔧 What is it?

Timed Trigger is a custom CopperCube action that allows you to execute a sequence of three actions over a set duration. It’s ideal for animations, effects, logic sequences, or anything that requires start, ongoing, and end phases with precise timing.

⚙️ How it works

When triggered, this action performs:

1. OnStart – Executed immediately when the action is activated.

2. WhileActive – Called every frame during the defined time period.

3. OnComplete – Executed once, right after the timer ends.

The action uses a timer in milliseconds, and everything is handled internally — you only need to define what actions happen during each phase.

🛠️ Editor Setup

In the CopperCube Action, when adding Triggers a timed sequence, you’ll need to configure 4 parameters:

Parameter	Description
Duration	milliseconds the sequence will run. (e.g. 1000 = 1 second)
OnStart	once, immediately when triggered.
WhileActive	every frame during the duration.
OnComplete	once, after time is up.

⚠️ If you don't set a sub-action, it will simply be skipped.

💡 Practical Use Cases

• Animated sequences: Start a particle effect, animate during, and clean it up after.

• Gameplay logic: Open a door, keep it open for X seconds, then close it.
