The timer persists across state changes, but gets removed when the script is reset. So if you change to a state that has a timer event, with the timer still running, it will fire in the new state. Setting a new timer replaces the old timer and resets the timer clock. This is a time timer that teaches children the meaning of time. It has a fast blue clock of max 12 minutes and a slow red clock of max 1 hour. You can set the time by touching the plate. Your child will see time passing by, and will hear a notification when time is up. It is a great way to visualise time left for elementary school students as well as high school students.
