How can the Start( ) function be triggered by a certain period of time rather than a new coming tick?

How can the Start( ) function be triggered by a certain period of time rather than a new coming tick?

For instance, a time of 10 seconds.

Can any one with kindness help me?

Or More precisely, how can I perform a function(instead of Start( )) recurrsively triggered by a certain period of time?

If you want a purely time-based activation, you would be better off putting your code into a Script and loop with the Sleep function.

No new tick means nothing has changed, so what are you trying to achieve?

[Tbone]

void runEveryTenSeconds() {
  static int timer = 0;

  if (timer + 10 < Seconds()) return;
  timer = Seconds();

  .. Do stuff

}

void start() {
  runEveryTenSeconds();
}

Assuming start() is run every tick, runEveryTenSeconds() will run once every 10 second time period (assuming ticks are coming in). This method should suffice for most usages.

int start(){
   while ( !IsStopped()){

      ...run your code...

       Sleep(10000);
   }
   return(0);
}
