NetLogo Help: tick-advance

### tick-advance4.0

#### tick-advance number

Advances the tick counter by number. The input may be an integer or a floating point number. (Some models divide ticks more finely than by ones.) The input may not be negative.

When using tick-based view updates, the view is normally updated every 1.0 ticks, so using `tick-advance` with a number less then 1.0 may not always trigger an update. If you want to make sure that the view is updated, you can use the `display` command.

If the tick counter has not been started yet with `reset-ticks`, an error results.

Does not update plots.

See also tick, ticks, reset-ticks, clear-ticks.
