I was wondering if there was a tut with a good explanation of using GetTickCount. If so could someone point me in the direction, Thanks. |

Code: dim currenttick, nexttick, elapsed as long 'variables we are using
currenttick = gettickcount 'currenttick is now saved as the time this line was executed 'CODE GOES HERE ROFL nexttick = gettickcount 'same as above elapsed = nexttick - currenttick 'the elapsed time is the time recorded after the code minus the time recorded before the code |

so that would work for replacing timers? |

Oh yeah! Completely! I mean, it doesn't matter what the timers are doing! This one piece of code will manage to replace all the timers in the game! Wooooooooh! |

so key this Code: dim currenttick, nexttick, elapsed as long 'variables we are using before anything that you want to use GetTickCount andcurrenttick = gettickcount 'currenttick is now saved as the time this line was executed Code: nexttick = gettickcount 'same as above at the end of the code?
elapsed = nexttick - currenttick 'the elapsed time is the time recorded after the code minus the time recorded before the code |

I gave you just a small example of how to use gettickcount. My example showed a quick calculation to see how long it takes for a piece of code to finish. |

Contrary to many people's beliefs.. API != Advanced Programming Interface. It stands for Application Programming Interface. No offense meant to the poster. It's a common mistake. Topic moved to Beginner Questions. |

I was just trying to figure out why it was in Advanced Questions rather than Beginner Questions, where it should have been.. So I made a guess, and tried to make a light joke out of it, and I guess nobody got it.

I thought it was a joke, but my technical wittiness, whilst quite powerful, is nothing compared to yours. |

Except. Blt. Check your spelling next time. As to what you're on about, maybe you should read the topic title before posting ^_^ |

Didn't he start the topic? O_o (Too lazy to check. xD) And Blt is only the term used in the programming. It would be spelled Blit. ^_^ |

We only assume it's pronounced blit. |

| Author: | Matt [ Fri Jul 06, 2007 3:08 am ] |
| Post subject: | Re: GetTickCount |
Same difference. I feel like an idiot when I say blt though. Makes me want a sammich. O_o |

By the way the Blit thing, I was rewriting GSD's Visual Inventory code to use GetTickCount, and I think somewhere along the lines I messed up the blit code for the equipped. But thanks for the assistance from all ya. |

It already uses gettickcount... |

Code: double click the timer in frmMirage (the one u made) add the following: that's a line from the code, does that not mean that it uses a timer?
Dim Q As Integer On Error Resume Next For Q = 0 To MAX_INV - 1 If PicInv(Q).Picture <> LoadPicture() Then PicInv(Q).Picture = LoadPicture() Else Call BitBlt(PicInv(Q).hdc, 0, 0, PIC_X, PIC_Y, PicItems.hdc, 0, Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, lstInv.SelCount + Q)).Pic * PIC_Y, SRCCOPY) End If Next Q |
