Is there anyway to time time stamp the lines written in the debug of a script?

For example if I have a breaking procedure and each time it takes a break it writes something like "Taking a break for 17m 30s"

Is it possible to associate a time with this message so I have a rough idea of what time my bot will be back up and doing it's thing?

Had to go back pretty far to dig this one up!

^ It's for SCAR but I'm sure it'll work just fine with Simba. :)

EDIT: Simba version isn't any different:

procedure TimeStatus(WaitTime: Integer);
var
  Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Time: Integer;
  Ticker: String;
begin
  MarkTime(Time);
  while (WaitTime > TimeFromMark(Time)) do
  begin
    Wait(500);
    ConvertTime(WaitTime - TimeFromMark(Time), Hours, Minutes, Seconds);
    if (Hours > 0) and (Minutes > 0) then
      Ticker := ToStr(Hours) + ':' + ToStr(Minutes) + ':' + ToStr(Seconds);
    if (Hours = 0) and (Minutes > 0) then
      Ticker := ToStr(Minutes) + ':' + ToStr(Seconds);
    if (Hours = 0) and (Minutes = 0) then
      Ticker := ToStr(Seconds);
    Status('Waiting for: ' + Ticker);
  end;
end;

Or you could use TheTime;

writeln('Taking a break for ' + BreakTime + ' at ' + TheTime);

Something like that. I'm terrible at writeln's.

Very cool, I really like the idea of having it real-time up in the status bar :) Many thanks!

EDIT:

Changed it around somewhat to suit my preferences a little better and used MsToTime to cut down on some lines of code but here is what I'm using now :)

procedure TimeStamp(WaitTime: Integer);
var
  T: Integer;
  Ticker: String;
begin
  MarkTime(T);
  while (WaitTime > TimeFromMark(T)) do
  begin
    Wait(500);
    Ticker := MsToTime(WaitTime - TimeFromMark(T), Time_Short);
    Status('Break remaining: ' + Ticker);
  end;
end;

SetScriptProp(SP_WriteTimeStamp, [True]);

That is the best way.

From: masterBB
SetScriptProp(SP_WriteTimeStamp, [True]);

That is the best way.

hahah I was looking in the "Not Well Known Features" of the simba docs and saw that there a few weeks ago.

The downside of using this is that the time is based on when you started you script, not your clock's time.
