GetCurrent

This function gets the current application time. The application time is updated with each call to Leadwerks::Time::Update() and will be modified by calls to Leadwerks::Time::Pause() and Leadwerks::Time::Resume(). Therefore, expect this function to return a different value than Leadwerks::Time::Millisecs().

Syntax

Returns

Returns the current application time.

Example

--Create a window
window = Window:Create()
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
local camera = Camera:Create()
camera:Move(0,0,-3)
local light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(35,35,0)
       
model = Model:Box() 
model:SetColor(0.0,0.0,1.0) 

while true do        
        if window:Closed() or window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

        --Press the space key pause and resume timing
        if (window:KeyHit(Key.Space)) then
        
                paused = not paused 
                if (paused) then
                
                        Time:Pause() 
                
                else
                
                        Time:Resume() 
                end
        end


        model:Turn(0,Time:GetSpeed(),0) 

        Time:Update()
        world:Update()
        world:Render()

        context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
        context:DrawText("Time: "..Time:GetCurrent(),2,2) 
        context:DrawText("Millisecs: "..Time:Millisecs(),2,22) 

        context:Sync()
