From The Elder Scrolls Construction Set Wiki

fQuestDelayTime == 0 means that the quest script will run with the default setting value of 5 seconds.

scn TestQuestScript

float fQuestDelayTime 
float timer
float count

Begin Gamemode
  set fQuestDelayTime to 0
  set count to count + 1
  set timer to timer + getsecondspassed
  if timer > 10
     message "%G" count
     set count to 0
     set timer to 0
  endif 
end

This displays "2" every 10 seconds...

scn TestQuestScript

float fQuestDelayTime 
float timer
float count

Begin Gamemode
  set fQuestDelayTime to 0.01
  set count to count + 1
  set timer to timer + getsecondspassed
  if timer > 10
     message "%G" count
     set count to 0
     set timer to 0
  endif 
end

And this displays your current Framerate * 10

[edit] Errors on page

Gamehour is incorrectly indicated as floating point number. It should be type short. --Jorne 13:39, 29 February 2008 (EST)

While GameHour is listed as a short in the Globals menu, it returns a float. For instance, if it's 2:30

float Test
...
set Test to GameHour
printc "Gamehour is %.2f", Test

will print out "Gamehour is 2.5"--Haama 14:18, 29 February 2008 (EST)
