Timers?

Post by Darseth » Tue Feb 05, 2008 12:01 am

I couldn't find anything in the wiki about timers, are there any built in lavishscript or do I just need to check the system time, wait a bit, check it again ect ect.

I would use timestamps, yes. ${Script.RunningTime} will give you milliseconds since the script was launched, or ${LavishScript.RunningTime} will give you the running time of the session, also in ms.

If you'd like to have your timers polled each frame, you can attach an atom to the OnFrame event for that

If you are looking for longer timers then Time.Timestamp is also good as it is in seconds and won't wrap around periodically.
