Simplest way to make a timer

Hmmm....looked at it a bit closer, and it seems create timer is not what I want. From what I can figure out it seems WaitTimer() will actually stop the progress of the program. What I want to do is keep the main loop updating, but only do something every n-th millisecond.

Here is what I wound up doing, which I'm quite happy with. (migh want to change the name of the Type as I think it's the same name as CreateTimer uses.

' Timer function. Use [ If Time.Tick() Then something... ]
Type TTimer
	Field Start:Int		' Start time.
	Field Ticks:Int		' The number of times the timer has clicked.
	Field Wait:Int		' Number of millisecs to wait between ticks.
	
	' Returns true if the timer ticks. Add's one to Tick count.
	Method Tick:Int()
		If MilliSecs() > Start + Wait
			Ticks:+1
			Start = MilliSecs()
			Return 1
		Else
			Return 0
		End If
	End Method

	' Creates a timer. Takes time to wait between ticks as input.
	Function Create:TTimer( inWait:Int = 60 )
		Local Time:TTimer = New TTimer
		Time.Start = MilliSecs()
		Time.Ticks = 0
		Time.Wait = inWait
		Return Time
	End Function
End Type

All I then need to do in my code is create the timer like so....

Global Timer:TTimer = TTimer.Create( 300 )

And then if I want to check if it's running I can do...

If Timer.Tick() Then ' Do something

Works very nicely in the Blackjack game I'm working on. :)
