C/C++
synopsis
unsigned int simGetSystemTimeInMs(int previousTime)
C/C++
parameters
previousTime: value that indicates how the command should operate:
>=0: the function returns a time difference with previousTime. PreviousTime must have been previously retrieved with the -1 argument below.
-1: the function returns a time relative to an arbitrary time. Use this to measure time differences within CoppeliaSim
-2: the function returns a time as follows:
// On Windows: returnedValue=TimeGetTime(); // On MacOS / Linux: struct timeval now; gettimeofday(&now,nullptr); returnValue=now.tv_sec*1000+now.tv_usec/1000;
C/C++
return value
a time in milliseconds as described here above.
