timers

clearInterval

• clearInterval(intervalID): void

• cancels the timed, repeating action which was previously established by a call to setInterval().

  Parameters

  • intervalID: number

    ID of the interval to be cleared

  Returns void

clearTimeout

• clearTimeout(timeoutID): void

• Cancels a timeout previously established by calling setTimeout().

  Parameters

  • timeoutID: number

    ID of the timeout to be cancelled

  Returns void

getDelta

• getDelta(): number

• Return elapsed time in milliseconds since the last update

  Returns number

  elapsed time

getTime

• getTime(): number

• Return the current timestamp in milliseconds
  since the game has started or since linux epoch (based on browser support for High Resolution Timer)

  Returns number

  current time

setInterval

• setInterval(fn, delay, pauseable?, ...args): number

• Calls a function continously at the specified interval. See setTimeout to call function a single time.

  Parameters

  • fn: ((...args: any[]) => any)

    the function to execute

    • • (...args): any

      • Parameters

        • Rest...args: any[]

        Returns any

  • delay: number

    the number of milliseconds (thousandths of a second) on how often to execute the function
  • Optionalpauseable: boolean

    respects the pause state of the engine.
  • Rest...args: any[]

    optional parameters which are passed through to the function specified by fn once the timer expires.

  Returns number

  a numeric, non-zero value which identifies the timer created by the call to setInterval(), which can be used later with me.timer.clearInterval().

  Example

  // set a timer to call "myFunction" every 1000ms
  me.timer.setInterval(myFunction, 1000);
  // set a timer to call "myFunction" every 1000ms (respecting the pause state) and passing param1 and param2
  me.timer.setInterval(myFunction, 1000, true, param1, param2);
  Copy

setTimeout

• setTimeout(fn, delay, pauseable?, ...args): number

• Calls a function once after a specified delay. See me.timer.setInterval to repeativly call a function.

  Parameters

  • fn: ((...args: any[]) => any)

    the function you want to execute after delay milliseconds.

    • • (...args): any

      • Parameters

        • Rest...args: any[]

        Returns any

  • delay: number

    the number of milliseconds (thousandths of a second) that the function call should be delayed by.
  • Optionalpauseable: boolean

    respects the pause state of the engine.
  • Rest...args: any[]

    optional parameters which are passed through to the function specified by fn once the timer expires.

  Returns number

  a positive integer value which identifies the timer created by the call to setTimeout(), which can be used later with me.timer.clearTimeout().

  Example

  // set a timer to call "myFunction" after 1000ms
  me.timer.setTimeout(myFunction, 1000);
  // set a timer to call "myFunction" after 1000ms (respecting the pause state) and passing param1 and param2
  me.timer.setTimeout(myFunction, 1000, true, param1, param2);
