Elapsed

<evalcmd> Elapsed && double or bool && Elapsed time in milliseconds, or true or false. && name && string && Name of the elapse timer. && [time] && double && Time in milliseconds to test for. && [reset] && bool && True if timer should be reset. </evalcmd>

Measures the time in milliseconds of a named elapse timer since it was started. Timers are global, so you should pick a unique name.

The first time the specified timer is measured it is started.

If called with just a single argument, the return value is the number of milliseconds since the timer was started.

If the optional time argument is given, the Elapsed() function tests whether the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed, and the function returns either true or false. Note that in this mode, the function also returns true when the timer is started for the first time.

If the reset argument is set to true, the timer will be reset to zero if the specified time has elapsed.

//Example://

if (Elapsed("test_timer", 5000, true)) { ... }
