Clock

-----------------------------------

Is there any way to have the clock function not start at the beginning of a program but at any point.

i.e. since i am makin a track game i want the clock to start when the user selects that game from the menu. right now the problem is the clock starts with that program.

thanks

make it a process

-----------------------------------

If you make if a process then it will start when ever you call it

var time :int
process timer
loop
clock (time)
end loop
end timer

put "Put i will wait 1 sec b4 starting the clock"
delay (1000)
fork timer


hope this is what u want!

var t1, t2:int

whenever you want to start the timing

t1:=Time.Elapsed

blah, blah, blah(the code, for the jumping)

when you are finished, or the code triggers it,
t2:=Time.Elapsed

the total time passed is: t2 minus t1

oh, btw, do your best to avoid processes, they are slow, not timed well enough, and take up alot of memory, use it only when you are playing background music.
