Description

Description:
Calculates and returns the time's delta between previous and current call to this function.
ⓘ
This commands internally uses time. For accurate-critical time measurement, use diag_tickTime.
Execution:
call
Groups:
MathDiagnostic

Syntax

Syntax:
[id, clear] call BIS_fnc_deltaTime
Parameters:
id: String - (Optional, default "generic") used to not create conflicts between different systems calling this function, each system can calculate delta time since it last ticked. Will be a missionNamespace variable
clear: Boolean - (Optional, default false) if set to true, will delete the missionNamespace variable (defined by id)
Return Value:
Number - the delta time - 0.001 if clear is true

Examples

Example 1:
["TAG_duration"] call BIS_fnc_deltaTime; // Defines the starting point // ... private _duration1 = ["TAG_duration"] call BIS_fnc_deltaTime; // Gets time between starting point and now // ... private _duration2 = ["TAG_duration"] call BIS_fnc_deltaTime; // Gets time between _duration1 and now ["TAG_duration", true] call BIS_fnc_deltaTime; // deletes the global variable "TAG_duration"
