time_bpm_to_seconds

This function takes a beats-per-minute value, and returns the length of each beat in seconds.

This can be used when creating a Time Source to use a BPM value for the Time Source. It's important that such a Time Source uses seconds as its unit.

Syntax:

time_bpm_to_seconds(bpm);

Returns:

Real

Example:

var _bpm = 90;
var _seconds = time_bpm_to_seconds(_bpm);

time_source = time_source_create(time_source_game, _seconds, time_source_units_seconds, function()
{
    show_debug_message("BEAT!");
}, [], -1);

This code converts a value of 90 BPM into seconds, and uses that to create a Time Source that runs indefinitely.

On each beat, it prints the message "BEAT!" to the output log.
