SystemClock : Clock : Object

The float you return specifies the delta to resched the function for. Returning nil will stop the task from being rescheduled.( SystemClock.sched(0.0,{ arg time; time.postln; rrand(0.1,0.9); }); )

( SystemClock.sched(2.0,{ "2.0 seconds later".postln; nil; }); )

Clear the SystemClock's scheduler to stop it.SystemClock.clear;

Calls to the GUI may not be made directly from actions triggered by SystemClock or incoming socket messages (OSCFunc).

To get around this, use { }.defer. This will execute the function using the AppClock and is equivalent to AppClock.sched(0, function)( var w, r; w = Window.new("trem", Rect(512, 256, 360, 130)); w.front; r = Routine({ arg time; 60.do({ arg i; 0.05.yield; { w.bounds = w.bounds.moveBy(10.rand2, 10.rand2); w.alpha = cos(i*0.1pi)*0.5+0.5; }.defer; }); 1.yield; w.close; }); SystemClock.play(r); )

This example is only to show how to make calls to Cocoa/GUI when scheduling with the SystemClock. If you only wish to control the GUI, use AppClock.
