Time counting?
|
This is probably an easy questoin..i tried seraching through the forums...
But is there a way to start counting how long something is happneing...like say on an experience run..at the end i would like ot know how long i've been on it..and then use this for statistics like how much xp per minute and how much gold per minute..etc.
I was looking up to see if #ALARM or the tick timer would help..but i couldn't find any solution with those..i'm guessing there must be a function to do this? but i can't seem to find one..'
Thanks |

Try recording the time when you start doing this and the time when you stop. You then substract the latter from the former and you have the time spend on doing it. A convinient way of accomplishing this, is by using the %secs predfined variable which contains the amount of miliseconds since midnight.

havent' tried it yet but it sounds great..
a predefined variable would be used like any other variable?
for example
#var starttime %secs
that sound right?
thanks again |
