Sets the value of clock to some number. Typically, when you reset the clock, you want to start it at 0.
set clock to [_] is a code block part of the Environment drawer.
Usage
set clock to [_] sets the value of clock to some number. Typically, when you reset the clock, you want to start it at 0.
Syntax
Inputs:
- a number
Common Uses
This is commonly used to reset the clock, which is helpful for each time you run a simulation.
Example
The model above depicts flowers growing with the rainfall over time. The clock is used to determine when thunderstorms start and stop: it will rain between 50 and 100, after which the clock will be reset to 0. In all, there are 50 ticks of rain followed by 50 ticks of no rain.
