Some split second timing issues in a script get messed up if the player or a mod uses “bullet time”.

Example

;;;;;;;;;;;Reset the bow jerk after shot is fired

(When the bow jerk starts jerk was set to .3)

if jerk != 1 && jerk != 0
set jerk to ( jerk - getsecondspassed )
if jerk <= 0
setmousespeedx 0
setmousespeedy 0
set jerk to 1
endif
endif


If the player goes into bullet time where the game time is set down like this:

con_SetIniSetting "fGlobalTimeMultiplier:General" .2; sets bullet time

Then the “jerk” movement goes on for several player real time seconds.
Here is what I am wondering, can GetUserTime be used in place of getsecondspassed?

Kind’a like this (pseudo code):

(When the bow jerk starts Set jerk to .3 + GetUserTime )

Then

if jerk != 1 && jerk != 0
if jerk == GetUserTime
setmousespeedx 0
setmousespeedy 0
set jerk to 1
endif
endif

But how do I use GetUserTime correctly to get seconds (not minutes or hours) from the players PC?

[quickpost]On your second piece of code: Your syntax is incorrect. For starters, you'll need to use eval in if conditions to use OBSE expressions involving arrays. Secondly, getUserTime returns a StringMap, not a float/int. You'll need to subscript it to get the required values., for instance, getUserTime[ "Millisecond" ] returns the number of milliseconds that has passed at the time of the function call.[/quickpost]

huh?

array? what array?

is getusertime one of the array only functions?
