doPeriodically

public function doPeriodically(real time, CallbackPeriodic cb) returns CallbackPeriodic

Execute an action periodically. The callback has to be destroyed manually.

Example use: ```wurst
doPeriodically(0.5) cb ->
 if i > 10
	destroy cb ```

doPeriodicallyCounted

public function doPeriodicallyCounted(real time, int callAmount, CallbackCounted cb) returns CallbackCounted

execute an action periodically, with a limited amount of calls The callback object is destroyed after the action has been executed callAmount times.

Example use: ```wurst
doPeriodicallyCounted(0.5, 100) cb ->
 doSomething() ```

public function doPeriodicallyTimed(real interval, real timerDuration, CallbackCounted cb) returns CallbackCounted

execute an action periodically, with a limited duration The callback object is destroyed afterwards.

Example use: ```wurst
doPeriodicallyCounted(0.5, 10.) ->
 doSomething() ```
