Is it possible to have multiple timers??? 1

Is it possible to have multiple timers going at the same time.

To my knowledge you can only use startTimer on one thing at any one time, what if you need to do 2 things simultanously which both need independant timers????

I need to do this, can anyone help me??

You have to use variables to keep track of the time you started checking the time and the current time.

something like

global gStartedCheckingAt

on beginsprite
gStartedCheckingAt = the milliseconds
end

on exitframe
timepassed = the milliseconds - gStartedCheckingAt
if timepassed >= the abount of time I want to wait then
do something
end if
end


this should work as a sprite or frame script.
