Time Nodes
Delay
This node will delay passing the signal from [In] to [Out] for the specified number of seconds in [Delay]
FrameDelay
This node will delay passing the signal from [In] to [Out] for one frame
MeasureTime
Node to measure elapsed time.
RandomDelay
This node will delay passing the signal from the [In] to [Out] for a random amount of time in the interval [MinDelay,MaxDelay]
RealTime
This node reads your system time and can be used for things such as displaying time on a players watch or synchronizing time of day with real-world time, etc.
ServerTime
Reads the server time and reports the current time (seconds or milliseconds) for the specified period.
Inputs
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Basetime | Float | Base time in seconds. The server time output is relative to the base time Default value: 0 Valid values: 0-100 |
| Period | Float | Number of seconds that should pass before the timer resets to 0 Default value: 0 Valid values: 0-100 |
Outputs
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Secs | Integer | Current time in seconds, relative to the base time |
| Msecs | Integer | Current time in milliseconds, relative to the base time |
| Period | Boolean | Triggers the Period output once for each period of time, as specified by the Period input Valid values: 0=false|1=true |
Time
Outputs the total number of seconds from the start of the game, ticking once per frame.
Inputs
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Paused | Boolean | Pauses the time output when set to true. Default value: 0 Valid values: 0=false|1=true |
Outputs
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| seconds | Float | Current time in seconds |
| tick | Any | Triggers a tick once per frame |
TimeOfDay
Triggers the TimeOfDay, which is set in the flownode and can change the speed of at which it progresses.
ForceUpdate should be on. Same node can also read out the current TimeOfDay setting.
TimeOfDayLoadDefinitionFile
Loads a TOD (Time of Day definition file).
TimeOfDayTransitionTrigger
Time of Day and sun position transitions.
TimeOfDayTrigger
Works as a trigger when a specific time of day has been reached.
TimedCounter
Counts a number of ticks specified by 'limit', and then outputs 'finished' with the value the input 'start' had when it was triggered.
Timer
Timer node will output count from min to max, ticking at the specified period of time.
