Summary

Function: llSetTimerEvent( float sec );
0.0 Forced 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

Examples

<lsl>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);
       
   }
   timer()
   {
       ++counter; 
       llSay(0, (string)counter+" ticks have passed in " + (string)llGetTime() + " script seconds. Estimated time should be " + (string)(counter * gap));
   }
}</lsl>
