View source for $ticks

Returns the number of ticks since your operating system was first started.
 $ticks

'''Note''' that you can use this as milliseconds, as one tick is one millisecond. 

== Example ==
 ; You can use $ticks to calculate the time a script did need.
 ; lets make a new alias called testtime
 [[alias]] testtime {
  ; at first, we need to save the current $ticks
  [[var]] %ticks = $ticks, %i = 1, %test
  ; lets "increase" %test 1000 times with the help of a while loop 
  [[while]] (%i <= 1000) {
   %test = $calc(%test + 1)
   [[inc]] %i
  }
  ; now we can echo the time this script did need by calculating the current $ticks minus the one we have saved in %ticks. 
  [[echo]] -a This took: $calc($ticks - %ticks) milliseconds.
 }
