GetServerTick

The number of the simulation tick being processed.

Counts up from the server’s start, one per tick (30 a second). Handy as a cheap clock for “every n ticks” logic; for time in milliseconds use GetServerTime.

Syntax

GetServerTick()

Returns

number - the tick

Example

function OnTick(dt)
  if GetServerTick() % 300 == 0 then Log(GetPlayerCount() .. " players online") end   -- every 10 s
end
