Timer creation and comparing it?

I want to create a Timer that starts when a certain action is complete.
But after that i want to compare the time.. but how do i do that?

To create a timer, you can use

Code:

Timer timer = new Timer(int millis);

To start it when a certain action is complete, depending on the action, you can put the action checker in the loop, and then do

Code:

if (actionToLookFor) timer.reset();

To compare the time, do you mean with the time the script has been running?

I plant my herb
and exactly 75min later it will be done

so: plant herb --> start timer
timer done --> tele to spot and pick

After you have created the Timer in your variable declaration, you can do it. Where you have your method for for planting herbs, right after your plant action, do timer.reset().

I recently did something similar; except what I did was I got the system time when it was planted and stored it, then when checking back all I had to do was basically currentTime - startTime

Code:

startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

public int timeRemaining(){  //in seconds
   return (growTime - (int)(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime)/1000);
}

Not tested just an example of what I did.

There is also the full timer class of rsbuddy, http://ve.vsm6ds6m.vesrv.com/doc/com/rsbuddy/script/util/Timer.html
