Hello everyone: I want to create a timer so that at intervals, say every 5 minutes or so a GoTo command will be executed, the progam will goto a label, and free certains entities, and load new ones. I have the goto stuff setup, but am having trouble with the timer. Any ideas? thanks |

use the millisecs() command;five minutes in millisecs = 1000 * 60 * 5 timer=millisecs()+(1000*60*5) ;main loop repeat ;check if the five minutes has passed if millisecs()>timer ;reset the timer again timer=millisecs()+(1000*60*5) goto yourlabelhere endif until keydown(1) hope this makes sense :-) |
