Post Timer Value
Can somebody remind me what the function is to get the value of a timer as a variable?

Thanks.

Code:
-timer.LeftTillSimMS(0)

That works, since it returns how long until a time is reached. If that time is 0, it'll always be a negative value, so you just get its negative.

Mine is assuming you already have a timer stored in a variable called "timer". I figured the question was how to get the time from a timer, not how to initialize it in the first place. Your answer would be part of this, too.

Thanks, TLB. Yours was what I was looking for, although I seem to remember a function specifically for this, but I can't remember what it was.

There's something like Timer.ElapsedSimTimeMS, but I dunno the exact name of it.

No Grif you happen to be exactly right, I found it on the wiki just before I read your post.
