Description
This adds script timer functionality similar to Fallout 4, achieved using skse's Mod Events.
Can have unique timers on the same script.
Includes GetTimerObj, StartTimer, StartTimerGameTime, CancelTimer, CancelTimerGameTime and DeleteTimer functions.
Here's an example of how to use the timers, which is also included in the download:
Spoiler:
Show
Scriptname TimerExample extends Form
TimerObj Property TimerA Auto Hidden
TimerObj Property TimerB Auto Hidden
Event OnInit()
Utility.Wait(1)
;Timer events should be unique, use your mod name as a prefix
TimerA = Timer.GetTimerObj(TimerEvent = "MyMod_Timer", GameTimeTimerEvent = "MyMod_TimerGameTime")
TimerB = Timer.GetTimerObj(TimerEvent = "MyMod_Timer", GameTimeTimerEvent = "MyMod_TimerGameTime")
;register for timer events
RegisterForModEvent("MyMod_Timer", "OnTimer")
RegisterForModEvent("MyMod_TimerGameTime", "OnTimerGameTime")
TimerA.StartTimer(1.0) ;update in 1 second
TimerA.StartTimerGameTime(0.5) ;update in half an hour game time
TimerB.StartTimer(3.0) ;update in 3 seconds
TimerB.StartTimerGameTime(2.0);update in 2 hours game time
EndEvent
Event OnTimer(string a_eventName, string a_strArg, float a_numArg, form a_sender)
If a_sender == TimerA
Debug.MessageBox("TimerA")
Elseif a_sender == TimerB
Debug.MessageBox("TimerB")
Endif
EndEvent
Event OnTimerGameTime(string a_eventName, string a_strArg, float a_numArg, form a_sender)
If a_sender == TimerA
Debug.MessageBox("TimerA Gametime")
TimerA.DeleteTimer() ;delete TimerA
TimerA = None ;necessarry for TimerA to actually be deleted from game
Elseif a_sender == TimerB
Debug.MessageBox("TimerB Gametime")
TimerB.DeleteTimer() ;delete TimerB
TimerB = None ;necessarry for TimerA to actually be deleted from game
Endif
EndEvent
Note that timers are actually persistent object references, so use:
MyTimer.DeleteTimer()
MyTimer = none
If you don't need it anymore.
Update
I added an example of how to make timers without using SKSE.
The timer objects call the OnTimer and OnTimerGameTime events directly on your main script.
It's explained how in the download's source scripts.
Installation
Extract to your Skyrim Data folder.
Requirements
SKSE64
ConsoleUtil SE
These are only required for the main skse version that uses mod events.
Note that this will work on LE as well. If installing on LE, install the LE versions of the above mods.
