Valid values

  • A number of seconds counted from the first frame of the scenario.
Caveats
  • The count is the scenario's own frame count divided by the logic rate of fifteen frames a second, so it advances with the simulation rather than with the wall clock.
  • Nothing restarts it. Unlike the elapsed time event, this one is not affected by enabling the trigger or by a variable changing, and it stays satisfied for the rest of the scenario once the time has passed.
  • A persistent tag carrying it therefore fires on every offer from that point on, which is once a frame for a tag on the general list.
  • The event has nothing to ride on. Its tag joins the general list, which adds nothing to the attachment total a semi-persistent tag waits on, so a trigger built on events of this kind needs a volatile or a persistent tag.
