How to stop looped event?

[OpherV]

I'm probably missing something here.

I need to stop a looped event started with game.time.events.loop

 

I can see that you can stop the Timer it's attached to, but not the TimerEvent itself.

(That Timer has other events that I don't want to stop)

How can I do this?

 

Thanks!

The loop method returns a Phaser.TimerEvent instance. Save this reference, then you should be able to remove it from your timer the following:

timer.remove(event)

George - I needed this too and your answer helped me out so I "liked" it.  Thanks!

 

Here's a small example ...

CREATING THE TIMER

this.countdownTimer = this.game.time.create(true);

this.countdownEvent = this.countdownTimer.loop(1000, this.updateCounter, this);

this.countdownTimer.start();

 

REMOVING THE TIMER

this.countdownTimer.remove(this.countdownEvent);
