GetSystemTime

[Yago]

Ive seen it in many scripts... Just wondering what the heck it does or records.

I know its got something to do with time...

Thanks for helping

Get the amount of milliseconds the system has been online for. Used for benchmarking and time outs.

You'll see

var
  T: Integer;

begin
  T := GetSystemTime;
  WriteLn(T);
end.

out puts

19962745

which is the number of milliseconds the system has been online for at any given time, this number increases 1 per a millisecond, so at any given time in the future it will be X amount greater than before and the difference between the current value and the old value will be the amount of milliseconds that have passed.

var
  T: Integer;

begin
  T := GetSystemTime;
  Wait(1000);
  WriteLn(GetSystemTime - T);
end.

Is it refering to the system of runescape or of simba or of smart?

Here's an example of its' use (in English):

I call GetSystemTime.
I then run my wood chopping procedure.
I then call GetSystemTime again and get the difference. I can then see how long it took to cut down those trees and if it has been cutting for more then 10 minutes then I know something is wrong (as it never takes 10 minutes to cut a tree!) and I can log that player out to prevent it from getting banned.

There's also GetTimeRunning: integer; which also results in milliseconds, but this time the time your script has been running.

begin
  Wait(1000);
  Writeln(GetTimeRunning);
end.

You can turn milliseconds into minutes like this:
1000 = 1 second (just like 1000 millimeters is 1 meter)
60 seconds = 1 minute

--> 1000*60 = 1 minute
--> 1000*60*60 = 1 hour

A little while back, I had a lot of time related questions. If it helps you out at all you can read through this thread.

What other questions do you have?

Edit: Found A Way around the bank thing.

Is there A way I can tell what floor my character is on?

Like 1rst 2nd or 3rd floor of lumby castle?

Right when you login? or when you are script navigating?

login:
- i dunno.

script navigating:
- well, you could add a simple floor counter.
- - it would add and subtract so you know which floor you are on. make floor zero the base, + would be up, and - would be basement.

No, but I wanna do something as a failsafe to make sure I went up the lumby stairs. Ill use symbol finding but its innacurate so ... Untill Somebody else knows a way then Im screwed.

I think this will tell you what level you're on: GetPlaneIndex
