Timer.Simple

{{Lua_function |
  function_name        = timer.Simple |
  library              = {{Arg|Timer}} |
  arguments            = {{Arg|Float}} delay, {{Arg|Function}} func, ... |

==Examples==
{{lua example |
  useOn = {{Shared}} |
  description = Creates a new simple timer. |
  code = <lua>
timer.Simple(5, Msg, "This message will display after 5 seconds!")
</lua> |
output = (After 5 seconds has elapsed) "This message will display after 5 seconds!"
}}

{{lua example |
  useOn = {{Shared}} |
  description = Calls YourFunction() after 5 seconds. |
  code = <lua>

local function YourFunction( message, ply)
ply:Msg(message)
end

timer.Simple( 5, YourFunction, "Hello!", ply )



</lua> |
output = After 5 seconds has elapsed YourFunction() will be called and will say the "Hello!" message
}}

==Additional Notes==
* Passes the arguments you give it to the function.
* This function always returns true, no matter what.
* This timer is dealt with differently than by calling [[timer.Create]]. You won't be able to use any functions on it that required a named timer ([[timer.IsTimer]], [[timer.Adjust]], etc).
* To use to call on a class function, like 'self:PrimaryAttack()', follow this format: 'timer.simple( 2, self.PrimaryAttack, self )'. Use 'self' as first function parameter.
* Setting a delay of less than or equal to zero will cause the timer function to be called on the next frame. This allows infinite recursion without the risk of hitting the infinite loop checker.
