Remove timer when frame closes

[_nonSENSE]

Hi

Is there a way to remove a running timer once the user closes the frame?

[lua]
local Window = vgui.Create("DFrame")
-- some stuff here
timer.Create("myTimer", 1, 0, function () print("I am still running") end)
[/lua]

Is there an OnClose hook or something I can use to do this?

Thx

you can use a button with windows:SetVisible(false) and timer.Destroy("mytimer") in the doclick function and hide the exit button with windows:ShowCloseButton( true )

Thanks for the reply. That does work of course; but is there any other way?

Just use timer.Destroy

[lua]Window.OnClose = function()

timer.Destroy( "myTimer" )

end
[/lua]

Yes:

[lua]

if not Window:HasFocus() then
timer.Destroy( "myTimer" )

[/lua]

timer.Destroy( "myTimer" )

This is what I have been looking for; unfortunately, it does not work. There probably is no ".OnClose" for a DFrame. Thank you anyway, I ended up using a separate close button as suggested by slay3r36.

Where would I put this exactly? This condition would have to be regularly checked.

I think in Window:Think()
That function runs when Window is open, or you could just create a seperate timer to check every 10ms.
Sorry if I can't help more, I'm also very new to lua.

Hehe, I would be creating a new timer to destroy another timer :biggrin: this unfortunately is not an option for me.

Thanks for the suggestions though!

From what you quoted and from what I can read now, he changed the Function from init, to Think, which should work.
