OnTimer function for prefab

[Maris]

Is it right?

local function UpdateMe(inst)	-- Do something	-- ...	inst:DoTaskInTime(1, function() UpdateMe(inst) end)end

It looks like you're trying to set up a task to run every 1 second, right? Your above code will work perfectly, but there's a more direct way to set that up:

inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, function(inst)    -- Do something    -- ...end)

The DoTaskInTime function is appropriate if you want to do something once but delay it for a period of time.

DoPeriodicTask will do the task with the delay repeatedly until you cancel that task. You can store an instance of the Task like so:

inst.somethingTask = inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, function(inst)    -- Do something    -- ...end)

Then when you want to cancel the task, you can do:

inst.somethingTask:Cancel()
