Fields

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
BaseSpeed	Float	Speed of the time base.
_actualSpeed	Float	Actual speed of the time base. Should not be written to or driven.
_actualOffset	Double	Offset of the time base from the current world time. Can be written to or driven perfectly fine.

Usage

The output of the component is the current world time (as a Double) multiplied by the BaseSpeed, minus the _actualOffset.

The output of the component is accessed by sourcing the component itself. To write to the current time of the component, you write to said source. When writing to the component, _actualOffset is automatically updated to reflect the correct time.
