Can't use 'waittimer()'

Hi, folks. Brand new to Blitz Basic and luvvin' it! Just finding my feet with it and trying out various things at the moment. One thing I find is that when I try other people's code, it runs way too fast on my machine XP3000. I've been trying the: Timer_Frame = CreateTimer(60) WaitTimer(Timer_Frame) ...method, but it wont format within Blitz and it says FUNCTION 'waittimer' NOT FOUND! I've done searches and other people's code seems to use it. What could I be doing wrong? Many thanks, Tobo. |

Have you updated to the latest version, via Account -> Product Updates? I seem to recall it was missing from the original release (assuming Blitz Plus)... |

How about just using a Delay comand at the end of your main loop? I just tried it in a program I am working on and it slowed it down fine. I think I read somewere that the delay comand increases your system requirments but don't know. |

Cheers, james. That did the trick. |

Hello James, Hate to be a pain .. Applied latest patch and nada .. waittimer() does not work (B+). Cut and pasted example. Does not highlight either. Take care, Jim |
