Configuring the action that is associated with a timer object

When you add a timer object, an action is automatically added and associated with the timer object. When the time expires, timers can display messages, open Web pages, change variables, and much more. You can change the timer's trigger and set conditions when the timer's action is to occur.

To configure the action that is associated with the timer object:

  1. Do one of the following to display the Action ribbon for the button:

    The Action ribbon is displayed.

  2. Use the Action drop-down list in the Action and Target group to select the action to execute when the timer expires. For details about selecting an action, see Selecting an action.

    The Target field is enabled when the action requires a target. Specify additional information as necessary. For details about selecting an action's target, see Selecting an action's target.

  3. Select the action's trigger. The action is triggered when the timer expires by default. This is indicated by Done Playing in the Trigger group. Use the Trigger drop-down list to change the trigger and specify a delay if necessary. For details about selecting the trigger, see Selecting an action's trigger.

  4. Specify the action's conditions. The action will always occur by default. This is indicated by Always in the Conditions group. Click Always to specify the conditions under which the action is to occur. For details about using the controls on the Set Action Conditions window to specify conditions, see Specifying conditions.

The action is updated and assigned to the timer object.
