{{DISPLAYTITLE:_FREETIMER}}
The [[_FREETIMER]] function returns a free [[TIMER]] number for multiple [[ON TIMER(n)]] events.


{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|timerhandle%}} = [[_FREETIMER]]


{{PageDescription}}
* QB64 can use an unlimited number of ON TIMER (number, seconds!) event [[INTEGER]] values at once. 
* Every time _FREETIMER is called the [[INTEGER]] value returned will increase by one, starting at 1, whether it is used or not.
* Store multiple returns in different variable names to refer to separate events later.
