How to call a method only every 1 second? Preferably using Timer node.

From code:

var _timer = null


func _ready():
	_timer = Timer.new()
	add_child(_timer)

	_timer.connect("timeout", self, "_on_Timer_timeout")
	_timer.set_wait_time(1.0)
	_timer.set_one_shot(false) # Make sure it loops
	_timer.start()


func _on_Timer_timeout():
	print("Second!")

You can also do it all from the editor: create Timer child, set same properties, then open the Node tab, and connect the timeout signal to _on_Timer_timeout.

Hell… Why I didn’t think of it :D. Thanks man.

Hi!
In addition to this, how could the method be called every OS time second? Or maybe better: how could this timer_start be yielded until the next OS time second?
