Timer Newbie Question

BizarreOfNature

Hello!

I am really new to Godot. However, I have searched for quite a bit but I wasn't able to help myself. so here the Question:

I have a main menu and I want to let a Label appear and disappear in a one second interval. My code:

func _ready():
	$Timer_Flash_Text.start()

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(Delta):
	if $Timer_Flash_Text.wait_time > 1:
		$Text_Start_Game.show()
	elif $Timer_Flash_Text.wait_time > 0 && $Timer_Flash_Text.wait_time < 1:
		$Text_Start_Game.hide()

I would be very happy about any help!

Best regards, Bizarre

Probably a better way would be to use the timeout signal on the timer and use a toggle function. That kind of logic is better not be be in _process or based on wait_time. I mean, it can work like that, but it is kind of a round about way. Something like this on the object you want to blink:

extends Sprite

onready var timer = get_node("Timer")

func _ready():
	timer.connect("timeout", self, "toggle_visible")
	
func toggle_visible():
	visible = !visible
