Hi, I am trying to script a timer function using blockly, i can start a timer and stop it using blockly but i need to be able to restart the timer BEFORE it completes its present timer setting. eg 10 seconds into its 30 second time operation it may be requested to restart the timing.  
I am unable to solve this and hope someone will be kind enough to help me?

thanks

I've tried to program something similar and failed so I can't help

It didn't actually fail but it did cause warning errors to appear so it wasn't a nice solution

Much simpler solution . if start is resent timer\_1 just stops itself and restarts.
