Millisecs()   

Definition:

Return the system's timer value in milliseconds.

Parameter Description:


None

Command Description:

This command will return to you the system timer value in milliseconds.

This is incredibly useful for precision timing of events. By reading this value into a variable, and checking it against the CURRENT time in milliseconds, you can perform 'waits' or check time lapses with a high degree of accuracy. A common use of this command is to seed the random number generator with the SeedRnd command.

Example:

; This prints STILL WAITING! for three seconds then ends.
oldTime=MilliSecs()
While MilliSecs() < oldTime + 3000
Print "Still waiting!"
Wend
