The title says it all, I want to use the data member “SuccessEvent” to execute a part of my code. I don’t exactly know how to do this because it uses “listenable” and I’m only familiar with “Subscribe” which isn’t the case here. Can anyone help?
TimerDevice.SuccessEvent.Subscribe(OnTimerFinish)
That’s it 
you have to define that method “OnTimerFinish” because that is what is going to get called when the timer finishes
What do you mean define, could you give an example?
You said you were familiar with “Subscribe” so I assumed you had written verse code before. Anyways, something like this:
OnTimerFinish(Agent:agent):void=
#whatever you want here
I meant that I read a few things about that, just never implemented it (I’m still learning verse so I’m not the best in the world). Anyways, I did that and it came up with an error:
It’s time for you to learn about Verse then Here is one of my tutorials to get you up and running:
The quick answer though is that you have to tab in your line below the method

I watched your tutorial and learned a few things 
. However, as for the code, it still gives me an error and I don’t think it’s linked to the actual indentation of the function. Everything else becomes underlined in red too. Can you help on this?
You’re missing indentation under your if statement
Tried a bunch of stuff and it just keeps messing up. Can you help, I’m really confused.

Sorry, the agent is a possible fail so it’s like this:
OnTimerFinish(Agent:?agent):void=
Add in that question mark

Yup, that was it. Thanks a lot
Thanks for your responses. This also worked in my project. If you dont mind could you explain what (Agent:?agent) does? I’ve never seen this without an equals. Usually I use (Agent := agent). I was appending the ? but keep having an error until I removed the equals sign. From my understanding ‘:=’ is used to assign a value to a variable that might fail. But what does ‘:’ by itself do? Thanks again!
I’m not sure about the := because someone told me about this. All I know is that you put the ? because Agent is failable and that’s always the case with timers no matter what
