ClockTime/TimeNow

Scripting with Gig Performer
1

In the documentation about GPScript

gigperformer.com/docs_5_0/SystemFunctionList.html

the TimeNow function is described:

TimeNow : Gets the current time in milliseconds - deprecated

  • Declaration: function TimeNow () returns integer deprecated “Use TimeSinceStartup”
  • Warning – This function is deprecated. Use TimeSinceStartup
  • Category: System
  • returns integer

It mentions to use the TimeSinceStartup() instead, but I assume the ClockTime function is meant right?

This is correct.

This is when you want to display the current time.

3

Actually this is strange, as the descriptions of ClockTime and TImeNow are equal:

TimeNow : Gets the current time in milliseconds - deprecated
ClockTime : Gets the current time in milliseconds

4

It doesn’t matter anymore, as it is deprecated.
