Example: Timer Script Functions

This example demonstrates how to start and stop timers in Scripting as well as how to change the value of the timer variable from a script.

The standard library calls are used to read and write variables and to fire events , what is unique about the timers is the group location the objects are listed under.

Timer Object Locations:

• Timer Action ID's are listed under TimerIDs.xxxx
• The Timer Variable is listed under the standard system VariableIDs.xxxx

Script Examples:

void $Inc One Shot Timer$ ()//incrementing the timer variable
{
     int32 temptimer;
     smRead(VariableIDs.UE___OneShotTimerTimerVariable, temptimer); 
     temptimer = temptimer + 10; //increment by 10 mSec
     smWrite(VariableIDs.UE___OneShotTimerTimerVariable, temptimer); 
}

void $Start OneShot Timer$ ()// Starting the one-shot timer
{
     SendAction(ApplicationIDs.CCM, ActionIDs.CCM_Start_Timer,                  TimerIDs.UE___OneShotTimerTimerVariable);

}
