Changing wait time of timer at runtime shows error?

Question

I am changing wait time of a timer programmatically after some amount of enemy captured by player. I confirmed timer's wait time using debugger that the value is 0.9XX. But it has not accepted by the timer, I am getting the following error

E 0:01:03.756   set_wait_time: Time should be greater than zero.

<C++ Error> Condition "ptime <= 0" is true.
<C++ Source> scene/main/timer.cpp:83 @ setwaittime()
Main.gd:126 @ _updatescore()
Main.gd:118 @ onScoreTimer_timeout()

The value I set to timer is already greater than zero. I don't know what causes this error. Any help. Thanks in advance.

Maybe showing the code you use would help?

Hi,
yah .. show some code ... maybe an integer rounding in place?

Here is the code

This is how I change wait time of a timer. At first it is

mobTimer.stop()
mobTimer.wait_time = 250/300
mobTimer.start()

I thought, by default rounding the vale to 1, so I tried to maintain float value by

mobTimer.stop()
mobTimer.wait_time = float(250/300)
mobTimer.start()

but unfortunately the timer wait time is always 1.

it is a integer rounding. Casting the result to an float afterwards wont help

250 / 300 = 1
float(250 / 300) = 1.0
float(250) / float(300) = 0.8333
250.0 / 300.0 = 0.8333

works well with 250.0 / 300.0 = 0.8333. Thanks. :)
