Class ClockTask

Holds a callback function to be executed at a specified time; used with Clock. ClockTasks are scheduled as a side effect of Clock methods such as setTime(), resume(), addTask(). ClockTasks are cancelled as a side effect of Clock methods such as pause(), removeTask().

Here is an example of a ClockTask that restarts the simulation every 5 seconds. This script can be entered in the command-line Terminal. For example in Single Spring App

var task = () => sim.reset();
clock.addTask(new ClockTask(5, task));
sim.reset();
Copy

Example of a ClockTask that pauses the Clock after 5 seconds:

var task = new ClockTask(5, () => clock.pause());
clock.addTask(task);
sim.reset();
Copy

Example of a ClockTask that slows the time rate the Clock after 5 seconds:

var task = new ClockTask(5, () => clock.setTimeRate(0.1));
clock.addTask(task);
sim.reset();
Copy
