Setting up a timer

[Vixe]

Hiyas, I am new to this engine and not a very good programmer

I am trying to settingup a timer, and my code looks like

irr::Itimer* timer = device->getTimer();

u32 now = timer->getTime();

However, it would give me the ememory violation error. on the second line.
it seems like the Itimer is not a class?
I guess it's more like a programming problem.

could anyone teach me how to set this right and to use the getTime() function?

thanks alot

I just did something like this:

Code: Select all

u32 lastTime = device->getTime();

if(device->getTime() > lastTime + 1000) //if one second has past
    doWateva();
