Function

void SetTimerEx(timerID: integer, delay: integer, callback: object, param: object);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
timerID	Integer	An identifier that will distinguish this time from another. This value is passed into the callback function as a parameter. It is also used to stop the timer prior to callback (see KillTimer)
delay	Integer	This is the delay in milliseconds that will elapse before the callback is invoked. The context of this delay value is simulation time, so time warping will apply.

param	Object	An object that is to be used within the callback method. This object may be any type or null.
