timer

Description

Event: timer( ){ ; }

11	Event ID
	Delay

Repeats the code in the timer(). Result of the llSetTimerEvent library function call.

Caveats

• The time between timer events can be longer than that specified with llSetTimerEvent, this is caused by:
  • Time dilation - See llGetRegionTimeDilation for more information;
  • Default event delay - Only so many events can be triggered per second;
  • Event Execution - If the execution of an event takes too long;
  • llSleep().
• Only one timer can be active at one time.
• The timer survives state changes, but does not survive resets.

Examples

<lsl> float gap = 2.0; float counter = 0.0;

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       // Activate the timer listener every 2 seconds
       llSetTimerEvent(gap);
   }

   timer()
   {
       counter = counter + gap; 
       llSay(0, (string)counter+" seconds have passed");
   }

} </lsl>
