How to know the timer value when the EventSetTimer is ON?

[jaffer wilson]

I have applied the following code.

void OnInit()
{
   EventSetTimer(10);
}
void OnTimer()
{
  // Print the current value of the timer.
}

As one can see I have applied the Timer and want to know the value of the timer in the OnTimer(). Say if it is 1 then print one or 2 when it is 2.

Please let me know what I can do?

#define TIMER_VALUE 10
void OnInit()
{
   EventSetTimer(TIMER_VALUE);
}
void OnTimer()
{
  Print("TIMER_VALUE: ",TIMER_VALUE);
  // Print the current value of the timer.
}

int global_timer_value = 10;
void OnInit()
{
   EventSetTimer(global_timer_value);
}
void OnTimer()
{
  Print("TIMER_VALUE: ",global_timer_value);
  // Print the current value of the timer.
}

I hope this can help you.

Thank you for the reply. But this is not my query. I know that I can do this with Global Variables. But I wanted to know the Timer event count. I want to know how I can get the Timer event timer count. It is hard to explain I guess. But I hope you have understood this.

You mean you want to know the number of calls to your event handler? You can do this with a static counter.

long count=0;

void OnInit()
{
   EventSetTimer(10);
   count=0;
}
void OnTimer()
{
  // Print the current value of the timer.
  Print("Timer: "+(string)count);
  count++;
}

Is it the only way? Is there nothing in-built variable or function that can give me that value?

Its a timer it measures intervals, it's not a counter.
