[Solved] Counter with delay

Hi all,

EDIT:
found solution here:

Internalize Timer in C# - Simple Counter

You wanted to use a timer inside the component , the way to implement it is to subscribe to its Tick event and for that you need a delegate of the type HandlerMethod(object, EventArgs). Every time the timer makes a tick, the UpdateSolution() method is executed. Where to put the user code is in Update(). I thought you wanted it in a compiled component, not in a scripting component, my fault. When you pass it to a scripting component you haven’t passed it correctly, but well, it’s…

How would I script a counter with an input number as the amount of time to delay (for instance, every 3 seconds) before the next value is output?
Right now the counter is simply just solving nonstop with no delay counter.gh (3.3 KB):

if(reset)
      counter = 0;
    if(run)
    {
      Component.ExpireSolution(true);
      Component.Message = "Count: " + counter.ToString();
      counter += 1;
    }
    else
      Component.Message = "Stopped";
    i = counter;
  }

  // <Custom additional code> 
  int counter;
  // </Custom additional code> 

Thanks!
