  • I tried setinterval and settimeout and they didn’t work.

    Any suggestions。

  • He’s still run every tick

  • You can use 

    function waitForMillisecond(ms) { return new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms)); }

console.time()
console.log("Wait 1000 milliseconds");
await waitForMillisecond(1000);
console.log("Waited");
console.timeEnd();

    function repeatEveryMillisecond(f, ms) { return new Promise(res => setInterval(f, ms)); }

repeatEveryMillisecond(() => {console.log(Math.random())}, 1000);

  • You can use 

    > function waitForMillisecond(ms) { return new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms)); }

console.time()
console.log("Wait 1000 milliseconds");
await waitForMillisecond(1000);
console.log("Waited");
console.timeEnd();


    > function repeatEveryMillisecond(f, ms) { return new Promise(res => setInterval(f, ms)); }

repeatEveryMillisecond(() => {console.log(Math.random())}, 1000);

    thank you for your answer!!!

    waitForMillisecond It’s working really well

    But repeatEveryMillisecond() It didn’t work out. Still waiting for * s, then every tick run

  • Just tested this: 

    function repeatEveryMillisecond(f, ms) { return new Promise(res => setInterval(f, ms)); }

repeatEveryMillisecond(() => {
 const now = new Date(Date.now());
 console.log(`${now.getHours()}:${now.getMinutes()}:${now.getSeconds()}`);
}, 5000);

repeatEveryMillisecond(() => {
const now = new Date(Date.now());
console.log(`${now.getHours()}:${now.getMinutes()}:${now.getSeconds()}`);
}, 5000);

    Thank you！！！

    It works in the browser.

    But execute this function in C3 tick（）. He’s not functioning properly.

  • What do you mean by "tick execution"?

    https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/scripting/scripting-reference/iruntime: "tick" by definitions fires every tick.

    I expect a "setInterval" command repeated on every tick to become equivalent to executing the same command on every tick.
