DESCRIPTION

You can use this function to compare the time stamp of a message with the current time stamp to determine how long ago a message was sent. This value is only as accurate as the round-trip time to the application hosting the game. This is a normalized value established by the server. That is, anyone in the current game who calls this function will get the same value.
