#Mudlet alias update

Note: it's best to re-use stopwatch IDs if you can for Mudlet prior to 4.4.0 as they cannot be deleted, so creating more and more would use more memory. ' seconds.' ) resetStopWatch ( 'fightStopWatch' ) You can also measure the elapsed time without having to stop the stop watch (equivalent to getting a lap-time) with getStopWatchTime().

a trigger script you can write: fightTime = stopStopWatch ( 'fightStopWatch' ) echo ( 'The fight lasted for '.

the ID (number) of a stopwatch or, from 4.4.0: a nil + error message if the name has already been used.

name (string) a unique text to use to identify the stopwatch.This difference between the cases with and without a name argument is to allow for older scripts to continue to work with 4.4.0 or later versions of Mudlet without change, yet to allow for more functionality - such as presetting a time when the stopwatch is created but not to start it counting down until some time afterwards - to be performed as well with a named stopwatch. start immediately (bool) used to override the behaviour prior to Mudlet 4.4.0 so that if it is the only argument then a false value will cause the stopwatch to be created but be in a stopped state, however if a name parameter is provided then this behaviour is assumed and then a true value is required should it be desired for the stopwatch to be started on creation.Prior to 4.4.0 the function took no parameters and the stopwatch would start automatically when it was created.

#Mudlet alias update

Stopwatches can be started, stopped, reset, asked how much time has passed since the stop watch has been started and, following an update for Mudlet 4.4.0: be adjusted, given a name and be made persistent between sessions (so can time real-life things).
