Core.AddTimedFunctionCS

Adds the name of a Timed Function Method to the SILVIA Core timers and sets a delay time in seconds to wait before executing said Method, also provides for recurring execution of the Method.

Description

If a Timed Function has been scheduled with the SILVIA Core, you can cancel it at any point by using RemoveTimedFunctionCS or RemoveTimedFunctionsByIDs.

Example Usage (C#)

//An internal Post-Behavior Script, for instance.
//Note the use of "_core" for internal scripting.
//Suppose someone had 5 seconds to answer a question, and then time's up.

public bool Invoke() {
_core.AddTimedFunctionCS("JeopardyTimeLimit", 5.0, false); return true;
}

//Below is the method we named above, which will execute after the delay public bool JeopardyTimeLimit( int id ) {
_core.ApiBrain().SetJump("jeopardy", "buzzed_in_times_up", 1.0f); return true;
}

//Note there must be an input ( int id ) so that the SILVIA Core can
//schedule the function and track it. It also must return a bool true to work

Parameters

string	methodName	The name of the Method in SILVIA’s internal scripts to call after the given delay time.
double	delayTime	The delay time in seconds, as a double.
bool	recurring	The boolean flag whether to repeat the execution of the named Method. The delay time serves as a repeat interval if true.
