| − | ===Examples===
| |
| − | Example 1:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | -- we'll use this function to check current time elapsed & decide what action to perform
| |
| − | function checkTime()
| |
| − | if getTime() > 3000 then -- if time elapsed is more than 3 seconds then ...
| |
| − | -- do some action
| |
| − | getTime({flags=1, reset=true}) -- let's reset timer back to zero
| |
| − | end
| |
| − | end
| |
| − | | |
| − | -- the checkTime() function would be most effective if included in a mainLoop event handler
