Pausing a Timer?

Hello,

Is ther any way to Pause a timer? I have a timer going and when I select the pause option I simply want to pause the timer. When I hit pause again , I want to restart the timer.

Looking at llSetTimerEvent() I don't see a way of doing this.

Thx

Only way I can think of "pausing" the timer is basically to reset it. Use llSetTimerEvent(0). This will turn off the timer, then do you code, then llSetTimerEvent(time), where time is your normal timer value. The Only down side of this is that it doesn't pause the timer, instead it sets it to 0, and doesn't fire the timer event. When you call llSetTimerEvent(time), the timer event will then fire after time seconds.

Another way to do this is to use a flag/boolean in the timer event, such as PAUSE, and put that in the timer event and use if(!PAUSE) or however you want to do it. Hope that helps you out

Well, one way of going about it would be to have a timer running at 1 second, and each second have it add 1 to a count variable. The pause button could stop the timer and count would still have the number of seconds passed so far in it.
