    How do I add a timer into my own class?

    Playing around with making classes and I can't find how to make this work:

    Monster = Core.class();

    function Monster:init()

    self.health = 100
    self.speed = 3

    self.timer = Timer.new(1000,5);

    local function doOnTimer(event)
    print("Timer event!");
    end

    timer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, doOnTimer);
    self.timer:start()


    end


    Any help much appreciated

    Thanks

      it will work just there should be

      self.timer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, doOnTimer);

      An addition to @hgvyas123, also I've modified your code a little:
      Monster = Core.class()
 
function Monster:init()
	self.health = 100
	self.speed = 3
 
	self.timer = Timer.new(1000, 5)
	self.timer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, self.onTimer, self)
	self.timer:start()
end
 
function Monster:onTimer()
	print("Timer event!")
end
 
Monster.new()
