Hi,

I'd like to have sys_milliseconds added if possible.
Sometimes it's needed to print out a more detailed time than just HH:mm:ss.

you should try timer(), it uses microseconds ^^

timer() is not what I need ... I need the current daytime with milliseconds.

look in the aum 84 in the unanswered questions.

Hi Chris,

in aum84 it's also just a timer()-code.
But I want the current time with millis.

Hm if you can live with inaccuracy of one second, you can build the time offset using sys_hours/mintues/seconds on startup and then add ms by ms on your own.

Do you REALLY want this as an engine function,
or would an API call do?
I can do one if you want.

I could do an API call myself, but thanks for the offer.
But I think it's such a small function that it should (could) be added to the engine.

Oh yes, definitely. A function returning the milliseconds
it very useful, as this is and accurate way to measure
the current time-stamp in raw format. (and beeing
a single steady number compared to the seconds/hours variables,
it can be compared easier)

Should be a very quick implementation to add,
at least in lite-C.

Yeah,
I need a faster timer to time your reaction to events.
The meat of this discussion is probably a bit over my head as to why it might need to be in the engine but, in order for a reaction timer to be accurate, it would seem that it would need to be outside of the framerate of the game. Like if I have a game with an FPS of 60, but I would like to see your reaction in thousanths of a second. That would need to be in some other kind of loop than the main game loop, right?
