Single shot timer?

Kerfuffle

In the wiki we can see how to use timers:

local demoTimer = hl.timer(function()
  print("hello from timer")
end, { timeout = 1000, type = "repeat" })

type = "repeat" means, this timer runs forever or until it is disabled:

demoTimer:set_enabled(false)

Is there a way to create a single shot timer that triggers only one time?

What other types are possible instead of type = "repeat"?

Thanks

Peter

Oh, yes, it works. Thank you!

From where do you know this? From where could I have known this?

Regards

The stub:

"HL.TimerOptions",
            [
                ("timeout", "integer", False),
                ("type", '"repeat"|"oneshot"', False),
            ],

---@class HL.TimerOptions
 467 │ ---@field timeout integer
 468 │ ---@field type "repeat"|"oneshot"
 469 │ local __HL_TimerOptions = {}
