LlSetTimerEvent

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

• The time between timer events can be longer, 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.
• The timer persists across state changes, but gets removed when the script is reset

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));
    }
}
