Ticks

A tick is a time unit equivalent to 1/20 seconds and is the way the game handles timing.
Chorus allows converting ticks to other time units and vice-versa within the JavaScript API thanks to the timeToTicks(type, time) and ticksToTime(type, ticks) functions.

type refers to the time unit you want the conversion applied to. Available types:

• ms/millis/milliseconds
• sec/seconds
• min/minutes
• hr/hours
• days

time and ticks refer to any number (parsed or not).

Example:

print('Ticks in 1 second: ' + timeToTicks('sec', 1));
print('Minutes in 300 ticks: ' + ticksToTime('minutes', 300));

Output:

Ticks in 1 second: 20
Minutes in 300 ticks: 0.25
