Start Timer

This compound uses a timer to determine the amount of time that a particle spends in a certain state. This works in conjunction with the Test Timer compound.

Plug its Result output into an If True port of an If node (for example) or any node or compound that causes an execution. If you're using states, plug its Result output into an Execute on Trigger port on a State compound.

For more information, see Setting Particle Timers.
