Summary
Function: float llGetTime( );82 | Function ID |
0.0 | Forced Delay |
10.0 | Energy |
Returns a float time in seconds.
Retrieves the time in seconds since the last script reset, or since the last call to llResetTime / llGetAndResetTime.
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=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>
