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)); } }
