Caveats
- The timer event is adversely effected by time dilation (lag).
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"); } }
