Delayed execution

[nerobotParticipant]

How can I start method after N millisecs from the this moment ?

Try to write waiting logic inside fiber – not working, it suspended after few calls.

What I need at all? Call to RequestRender each N millisecs.

Check out the Timer code in spacechimps, the basic idea is:

New Timer( 60,OnUpdate )

…

Method OnUpdate()
End

I plan to add a ‘Sleep’ function to Fiber too.

If you are looking for a wait function, this is what I use:

Monkey

Local StartTime:Double = Microsecs() Local WaitTime:Double = (1.0/15) * 1000000.0 While (Microsecs() < StartTime + WaitTime) App.UpdateWindows() Wend

1 2 3 4 5

Local StartTime:Double = Microsecs() Local WaitTime:Double = (1.0/15) * 1000000.0 While (Microsecs() < StartTime + WaitTime) App.UpdateWindows() Wend

This executes at 15 hertz.  If you want to set a time, just change WaitTime to however many Microseconds you would like.

I couldn’t find any Delay or Wait function in the docs but I could have overlooked…

Be careful – UpdateWindows is currently a hidden API and may or may not change in future or may become private etc (it probably should be).

I’ll have a go at adding App.Sleep…

The Timer class is what I’m looking for, thanks!
