Something about getTickCount

[drk]

Hi guys!

I've seen something about getTickCount on wiki but I can't understand why it's needed to subtract start tick count and end tick count like here:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetTickCount

Someone can explain me?

When you add this function to the ResourceStart-event and for example when you type /count you can substract both milliseconds. Then you know how much time passed between the start event and typing the command.

Thank you, I understand now this shit

function value1(player) 
    val1 = getTickCount() 
    setElementData(player,"value1",tonumber(val1)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("val1",value1) 
  
function value2(player) 
    val2 = getTickCount() 
    setElementData(player,"value2",tonumber(val2)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("val2",value2) 
  
function timeVal1val2(player) 
    local valu1 = getElementData(player,"value1") 
    local valu2 = getElementData(player,"value2") 
    local substract = valu1-valu2 
    outputChatBox(substract.." milliseconds passed") 
end 
addCommandHandler("getTimeBetweenVal1andVal2",timeVal1val2) 

Here is an example anyway ;D

I wrote too slow -.-

Oh damn.. I was too slow Nvm this post.. Hehe.

Example:

  
local startTick = getTickCount() -- That will give me the current TickCount: Lets say It's: 8394573485734 
  
-- A little later, we do pretty much the same thing again. 
local endTick = getTickCount() -- Lets say It's: 8394573985734 now 
  
local tick = endTick - startTick -- This would be 500000 milliseconds. Thats the time that has passed between startTick and endTick. 
  
-- If you want you can convert this to hours like: 
local hours = ( ( endTick / 1000 ) / 60 ) / 60 
  
print( hours )  
-- >> 0.138888889

I understood already, anyway thanks.
