The ntimeserver object lives under the name /sys/servers/time and provides a central time source for Nebula.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- Reset global time to 0.0.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- Freeze global time.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- Unfreeze global time.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
f (Time)
- Command Description:
- Return current global time in seconds since the time server was created.
- Command Input:
f (Time)
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- Set global time in seconds.
- Command Input:
f (DeltaT)
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- If DeltaT is greater then 0.0, the frame time will be advanced in steps of size DeltaT. A value of 0.0 switches back to the proper timing behavior. Useful to lock virtual frame rate to a fixed value.
- Command Input:
f (DeltaT)
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- If DeltaT is greater then 0.0, then the time server will actually sleep this amount of time in each frame. This is useful for simulating a slow machine.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
f (DeltaT)
- Command Description:
- Return the value set by 'lockdeltat'.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
f (DeltaT)
- Command Description:
- Return the value set by 'waitdeltat'.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- Enable the 'frame time' mode of the 'getframetime' command. In this mode 'getframetime' will return exactly the same value each time it is called within a frame. Otherwise 'getframetime' returns the same value 'gettime' would.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- Turn off frame time mode of 'getframetime'. Further calls to 'getframetime' will return exactly the same value as 'gettime'.
- Command Input:
v
- Command Output:
v
- Command Description:
- Get the current frame time stamp. This value differs from the value returned by 'gettime' because 'gettime' will return a different value each time it is called, while 'getframetime' returns the same timestamp within one frame.
