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.
}
