In order to define a relative time origin, whether it's on calc or in the emulator, this can be an example :
<source>function now()
local now = timer.getMilliSecCounter()
if now < 0 then
now = now + 2^31
end
return now
end</source>
If you want to do something after ''60'' seconds, for example, here is what you have to do :
<source>timeleft = 60-math.floor((math.abs(timer.getMilliSecCounter()) - math.abs(startTime))*0.001)
-- startTime would be a variable defined earlier as '0', for instance.
if math.abs(math.floor(timeleft)) == 0 then
-- your code here --
end</source>
