Hello!

If I remember corectly, maybe one of the Construct 2 earlier releases implemented an high resolution timer. Am I wrong about that?

Anyway, question is: if i'm right, then, how do I use it?

I want to make a game that register miliseconds. That's impossible with construct, right?

C2 does use a high resolution timer.

The time system expressions are updated with the timer.

Most of the time expressions give time in seconds. Multiply the value by 1000 to get milliseconds.

So, basically, if I make an event:

Every Tick > Add 1*dt to Timer(varible)

That variable will represent an actual time counting?
