Timing issues (win7 i think)

Scripting Issues
21

I was using time.clock() originally(for the precision), then i discovered it does not work on one specific win7 machine, so i changed it to time.time() nothing changed so i posted on the forums.

The above code example does not work with time.clock() either on specific win7 machines.

Cheers

Ok made a new example:
It uses:
time.time()
time.clock()
clockObject.getRealTime()
clockObject.getLongTime()
task.time

They are not synced.

The question is what works and what does not.
All display time flow and fade in a 1 sec interval.

all 4 are working fine on win 7 chrome browser :slight_smile:

Hmm very intresting, as the time.time(0 one was not working for you before. And there were 5, but i quess
clockObject.getRealTime() and clockObject.getLongTime()
are exactly the same.

Ill have to wait til tommorrow til i can test it on the problemativ win7 machine

25

oh right, there should’ve been 5 timers. the time.time wasn’t visible at all.

When i ran With win7 64bit I saw everything but time.time and the top 2 i saw seemed accurate (they were perfectly synced) the bottom one for me was very close though but the 3 from the top (remember time.time is missing) did not seem even close
