You can also check the status or stop the timer:
```lua
if timer:is_started() then
print("The timer is running, and has " .. timer:get_timeout() .. "s remaining!")
print(timer:get_elapsed() .. "s has elapsed.")
end
timer:stop()
```
When a node timer is up, the `on_timer` method in the node's definition table will
be called.
The method only takes a single parameter, the position of the node.

Returning true in `on_timer` will cause the timer to run again for the same interval.
It's also possible to use `get_node_timer(pos)` inside of `on_timer`, just make
sure you return false to avoid conflict.
You may have noticed a limitation with timers: for optimisation reasons, it's
only possible to have one type of timer per node type, and only one timer running per node.
