Summary
Function: llSetTimerEvent( float sec );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Cause the timer event to be triggered once every sec seconds of dilated time. Passing in 0.0 stops further timer events.
| • float | sec |
Caveats
- The time delation (lag) reported by llGetRegionTimeDilation correctly slows timer events. The llGetTime and llGetTimestamp functions report the progress of dilated time and the progress of calendar time, respectively.
Examples
float gap = 2.0;
float counter = 0.0;
default
{
state_entry()
{
// Activate the timer listener every 2 seconds
llSetTimerEvent(gap);
}
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSay(0, "The timer stops.");
llSetTimerEvent(0);
}
timer()
{
counter = counter + gap;
llSay(0, (string)counter+" seconds have passed");
}
}
