Summary

Function: float llGetTime( );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a float that is the time in seconds since the last script reset, or since the last call to llResetTime or llGetAndResetTime.

Caveats

Known to be reset by various events outside user control, such as sim resets. Reliable only for short term timing measurements.

Examples

default {
    state_entry()
    {
        llResetTime();
    }
    touch_start(integer num_touch)
    {
        float time;
        time=llGetTime(); //Instead getting, and then resetting the time, we could use llGetAndReset() to accomplish the same thing.
        llResetTime();
        llSay(0,(string)time + " seconds have elapsed since the last touch." );
    }
}
