Description
- Description:
- Calculates and returns the time's delta between previous and current call to this function.
- 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"
Additional Information
- See also:
- diag_tickTime diag_deltaTime
