Summary
Function: float llGetAndResetTime( );84 | Function ID |
0.0 | Forced Delay |
10.0 | Energy |
Returns a float time in seconds.
Retrieves the time in seconds since since the last script reset, or since the last call to llResetTime/llGetAndResetTime, then resets the time to zero.
Caveats
Known to be reset by various events outside user control, such as sim resets. Reliable only for short term timing measurements.
Examples
<lsl> default {
state_entry() { llResetTime(); } touch_start(integer num_touch) { float time; time=llGetAndResetTime(); //This is equivalent to calling llGetTime(), then llResetTime() llSay(0,(string)time + " seconds have elapsed since the last touch." ); }
}
</lsl>
