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

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");
    }
}
