Examples
<lsl> 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." );
}
}
</lsl>
