Here's my code below. I'm trying to move a block 16 pixels across the screen every 5 seconds. In blitzmax I used the millisecs command but I'm not too clued up on GetTimerAll and how it works. Any help would be appreciated. :)


FUNCTION MoveTopBlock:

TBlockTimer = GETTIMERALL()

DRAWSPRITE 0, TBlockX, TBlockY
IF TBlockTimer >= (GETTIMERALL() / 1000) - (GETTIMERALL() + 5000)
TBlockTimer = GETTIMERALL() / 1000
TBlockX = TBlockX +16
ENDIF

PRINT TBlockTimer,0,0
ENDFUNCTION

Search on the forum for FPS (frames per second) for some tips!

a simple code:


LOCAL TBlockX = 100

WHILE TRUE

IF Timer < GETTIMERALL()
INC TBlockX,16
Timer = GETTIMERALL() + 5000
ENDIF

PRINT DrawDebugTimer(),10,10
PRINT "TEST", TBlockX, 100

SHOWSCREEN
WEND
END




FUNCTION DrawDebugTimer:
LOCAL timer

timer = MOD(GETTIMERALL(),5000)
RETURN timer

ENDFUNCTION

Thanks, Schranz0r. It works Perfectly. :)

no problem :)
