Wake up at a specific time in milliseconds (System class)
[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.9]
The WakeupAt function is an enhanced alternative as the User Language Pause statement, allowing wakeup time resolution of 1 millisecond, and returns the current time in milliseconds.
Syntax
[%number =] %(System):WakeupAt( timeInMilliseconds)
Syntax terms
| %number | The current time, after waking up, in milliseconds. |
|---|---|
| %(System) | The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. WakeupAt can also be invoked via a System object variable, which may be Null. |
| timeInMilliseconds | The time, in milliseconds, at which to wake up. This may not be more than 12 hours in the future. |
Examples
The following code fragment pauses for 1 second at the start of each iteration of the Repeat loop:
%time = %(system):currentTimeMilliseconds repeat %time = %time + 1000 %time = %(system):wakeupAt(%time)
