multiple timers
2002-09-24, 5:35 AM #1
problem i had a while ago with making multiple timers in cogs... it seemed to me you couldn't have any more than the "message timer" one... i dunno if i need to pass values between cogs to get this to work...

Code: 
Message:
SettimerEX(Time, TimerID, param0, param1);
Stop;

Timer:
If(GetsenderID() == TimerID) Do stuff();

Else DoOtherStuff();

Stop;

End

There are two verbs for setting a cog's timer: SetTimer() and SetTimerEx(). SetTimer() works with only one timer which it can start, reset, and stop.

SetTimerEx() works with any number of IDed timers which can be set with a delay of 0. KillTimerEx() is used to stop an IDed timer.
