Trying to use world.time.clearInterval like so but it gives an error saying clearIntervaldoes not exist

This is done in side a state machine of a component, setTimeout and setInterval work fine, what is wrong with my code?

Hi! It should be `world.time.clearTimeout`, clearTimeout is used for both Intervals and Timeouts.

Hey! Thanks so much, that works perfectly! Just a heads-up—it might be worth giving the [documentation](https://www.8thwall.com/docs/studio/api/world/time/) a quick update so future folks don’t run into the same problem I did 🙂 .
