Description

Function: llSetTimerEvent( float sec );
107 Function ID
0.0 Delay
10.0 Energy

Cause the timer event to be triggered once every sec seconds. Passing in 0.0 stops further timer events.

• float sec Any positive non-zero value.

Caveats

  • The time dilation increases the length of the interval between timer event triggers. See llGetRegionTimeDilation for more information.
  • The timer persists across state changes, but gets removed when the script is reset

Examples

float gap = 2.0;
integer counter = 0;
 
 
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        // Activate the timer listener every 2 seconds
        llSetTimerEvent(gap);
        llResetTime();
    }
 
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay(0, "The timer stops.");
        llSetTimerEvent(0);
        counter = 0;
    }
 
    timer()
    {
        ++counter; 
        llSay(0, (string)counter+" ticks have passed in " + (string)llGetTime() + " script seconds.\nEstimated elapsed time: " + (string)(counter * gap));
    }
}
