GetSecondsPassed

Revision as of 18:37, 27 April 2006 by imported>JustTim (revert. this example is absolutely correct. timer is meant to count backwards! you have to set timer to the desired amount of seconds)

Syntax:

GetSecondsPassed 

Returns the number of seconds passed since the last game frame (in float). Extremely useful for running a timer within a script.


Example:

float timer

begin gamemode

if timer > 0
   set timer to timer - GetSecondsPassed
else
   ; time's up! Do something.
endif

end
