How exactly does wait_time act on the Timer class

Question

I would like to understand if wait_time is the time that passes between seconds or it acts when the countdown expires, on the godot documentation it is not very clear on this item what is meant.

Answer 1

waittime is amount of time Timer will count down until it signals "timeout". Resetting Timer sets it back to its waittime. Just like You would choose alarm nap time in your phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong: waittime then is the time it takes the timer to execute the countdown? That is, for example, if I set the countdown value = 3 seconds, and I set waittime to 4 seconds, does that mean that godot will print all 3 values in the console, that is 3, 2 and 1 in 4 seconds?

Wait, what countdown value ? There is no such thing. There is only waittime. You start timer, stop, restart and choose waittime, it is one of the simplest nodes :)
