Time

The simulation time, in seconds, since the game or this save was started. Returns now when used as a function or TimeDelta when number is provided.

Types:

• warp: TimeWarp - Time warping utilities
• stamp: TimeStamp - Absolute time (and date). (Like DateTime)
• delta: TimeDelta - Relative time. (Like TimeSpan)
• span: TimeDelta - Relative time. (Like TimeSpan)

Static Properties:

• now: TimeStamp - The simulation time, since the game or this save was started. Suitable for measuring time and printing.
• never: TimeStamp - Infinitely in the past (-inf). Useful for initialization of time-stamp variables.
• none: TimeStamp - No time (contains NaN). Note that time.since(none) = inf but now - none is still none.
• seconds: double - The simulation time in seconds, since the game or this save was started. For pure computation (same as now.seconds or now.s).
• tick: TimeDelta - Time delta/span of one tick. (Script engine always runs in physics ticks.)
• real: double - Real time since startup in seconds. (Good for printing reports e.g. every second.)

Static Methods:

• since(): TimeDelta, time Object
  • Time delta/span since some previous time (TimeStamp or double). Returns infinite if time is none. (Use .s or .seconds on the result if you want pure double value).
• sinceReal(): double, real double
  • Real time since previous point. Returns infinity if input is nan.
