Spring.GetGameSeconds question
Posted: 23 Jan 2010, 22:21
I am currently working on the following script
what I was hopeing to do was use Spring.GetGameSeconds to get the current game time and compare it to lastPlayed and only play another sound if 10 full seconds have passed
Probleam: the echo command echo( time ) gives back 0 every time and echo( lastplayed ) gives back nil...now this segjests that My primary probleam is I missinterprited what exactly Spring.GetGameSeconds does
Question: is there a way I can get the current time in seconds that have passed since the game began? and if I did get that value would I be able to use it as I intended Spring.GetGameSeconds to be used in the script above? or am I barking up the wrong tree?
oh one more thing.. I have been making alot of threads over the last few days and I dont want to clutter the forum ... is it ok that I have been making so many? or is there a better way for me to post that would be less annoying then seeing threads started by voidranaut everywere? any feed back is welcome
thank you for your time
