Repeatedly calls a function with a fixed time delay between each call.
Returns a key that can be passed to ui.util.clearTimeout to remove the timeout.
| Usage | Returns | ui.util.setInterval(func, delay) | Number |
| Argument | Type | Details | func | Function | The function to run after the specified delay. |
delay | Number | The time, in milliseconds (thousandths of a second), the timer should delay in between executions of the specified function. |
