 Function os.startTimer | |
| Adds a timer which will fire a "timer" event once after time seconds have passed. It returns an int which acts as a unique ID for the timer. Fractions of a second are supported, but only down to a game tick, or 1/20 of a second (0.05s). Times are rounded up to the next tick, so os.sleep(1.01) and os.sleep(1.05) both wait for 1.05 seconds. | |
