Caveats
- The time between timer events can be longer than that specified with llSetTimerEvent, this is caused by:
- Time dilation - See llGetRegionTimeDilation for more information;
- Default event delay - Only so many events can be triggered per second;
- Event Execution - If the execution of an event takes too long;
- llSleep().
- Only one timer can be active at one time.
- The timer survives state changes, but does not survive resets.
Examples
float gap = 2.0;
float counter = 0.0;
default
{
state_entry()
{
// Activate the timer listener every 2 seconds
llSetTimerEvent(gap);
}
timer()
{
counter = counter + gap;
llSay(0, (string)counter+" seconds have passed");
}
}
