TimerStart() = TimerInit()

TimerStop() = TimerDiff()

This is quite a while ago the change was made, what version of AutoIt are you using?

Use TimerInit(). TimerStart() is older alias of TimerInit(). And use TimerDiff() to stop the timer.

Edit: Beaten, Holy smoke I am slow.

autoit 3.2.2

alright thanks guys ill do that

One question... why change it to TimerInit and Timer Diff.... it would seem TimerStart and Stop would be easier to remember.

Thanks

TimerDiff() doesn't actually stop the Timer that was initiated. I don't make up the function names, but I'm sure they felt that there was a good reason for it. I have been using TimerInit() for so long now, it's hard for me to remember when it was initiated to even see what their reasoning (if they gave one) was.

Edit:

I guess if your stuck on the names, you could always do:

Func _TimerStart()
    Return TimerInit()
EndFunc

Func _TimerStop($nTimer)
    Return TimerDiff($nTimer);Doesn't stop the timer though...
EndFunc
