Hi and welcome to the forum!

There is no timer action but you can use the 'get time info' action to carry out most timer based functions I think.

But for the way I can imagine a traffic light timer, then maybe just the 'wait' action will do it for you.

Also if youre just starting out with playmaker, check out a few tutorials before jumping in with your own project (despite the temptation), cos depending on how technical you are playmaker may be a totally ridiculous amount of menus to just get.

Good luck with it!

Hi,
There is a custom action called "countdown timer" on the Ecosystem (and many more custom actions)
But a wait function can do fine for this.

there is not really a traffic light tutorial,
a way you can do it is :

in the 1st state set the red light on and have a wait, then in the 2nd state turn of red and turn on green and a wait, and in the 3th turn of green and turn on orange and also a wait and loop it bacn to the 1st state

this is that i'm looking for

thank you
