Is there an alternative to llGetTime()?

[Tess Juel]

I'm struggling with this code snippet:

Code: Select all

    touch(integer total_number)
    {
	integer send=1;
        if(llGetTime() >= 0.5 && send==1)
            {
                llResetTime();
                llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, pos,"move", "");
                send=0;
            }
    }

The idea is that llMessageLinked() is triggered once if and only if the object is touched and held for half a second. Unfortunately it turns out opensim doesn't support the llGetTime() function.
Does anybody know of a workaround for this?

Hi Tess,

You can check whether any of the supported OSSL functions can help you: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Category:OSSL_Functions

Thank you Ilan, that is always good advice! It didn't help in this case though, OSSL doesn't have any alternative to llGetTime(). That's a bit weird but it is what it is.

I did find a solution using a combination of the touch start, touch end and timer events. It's a bit of a crude hack since the script already used the timer event for something else, but it works.
