If you want to create a timer lets say which spawns a vehicle after 3 seconds this is the way to go.

setTimeout(() => {

//spawn vehicle here

}, 3000);

[LeozinH1 1]

let myTimer = null;
myTimer = setInterval(() => {
	// Spawn Vehicle
	clearInterval(myTimer);
	myTimer = null;
}, 3000);

This should work, after 3 seconds, it performs the function and clears the range (runs only once)

No need for an interval, just use the timeout function

It is true. I thought the settimeout was looping. I've never tried to use it
