Re: getCurrentTime

[Sven Thommesen]

I've been bitten again!

Last time I complained, it was on account of an attempt to call
getCurrentTime() before the sim had started.

This time, it's calling getCurrentTime while the sim has been 
temporarily halted from the controlPanel (click on 'Stop')!

I have an object, this object has a probe, this probe has buttons,
these buttons send messages to other objects, these messages invoke
methods that call getCurrentTime(). If I click on such a button
while the sim is running, no problem. If I click 'Stop' and then one
of those buttons, ... (hold your breath) another COREDUMP!

Now, Glen, ... [expression of infinite pain here]

Yes, I do get the 'InvalidOperation' message you quoted.
And yes, on inspection I do see it says you can use this macro
only "under a running activity". But my sim IS running! I specifically
WANT to have these messages sent in-between sim periods.

Is this situation irremediable ?
