9 years ago Hey again, wow [forehead slap], this is apparently a case of getting ahead of myself during documentation. I clearly intended to add the capability of using a LogoTime and not just a number, but I never implemented it.
Fortunately, it was quick and painless to add, which I just did and I will again release a new version of the extension shortly.
Thank you for using the extension, for your patience, and for bringing these issues to my attention... I appreciate it! Feel free to submit more issues if you have them... as you've probably determined already, I don't monitor stackoverflow, so github is your best bet.
Cheers, Colin

Hi Colin,
Thanks for resolving the last issue that quickly!
Could you also have a look into this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25060039/using-timego-until-in-netlogo-time-extension ?
Here's a copy of the question:
Using the NetLogo time extension on NetLogo 5.1.0 and Windows 8.1, I would like a simulation to stop either at a specific date, or after a specific period of time.
time:go-until should work for this according to the documentation on https://github.com/colinsheppard/time/#discrete-event-scheduler, but I can't figure out how to use it correctly. Here's what I have so far:
extensions [time]
globals[ start-time current-time ]
to setup clear-all reset-ticks
set start-time time:create "2011-01-01" set current-time time:anchor-to-ticks start-time 1.0 "days" time:anchor-schedule start-time 1.0 "days"
create-turtles 2 time:schedule-repeating-event-with-period turtles task [fd 1] 1 1.0 "days" end
to go-until time:go-until 40 ;time:go-until time:create "2011-03-01" ;time:go-until time:plus start-time 33.0 "days" end
Like this, the sim runs for 40 ticks and then ends as expected. However, when I replace time:go-until 40 with either time:go-until time:create "2011-03-01" or time:go-until time:plus start-time 33.0 "days", I get this error at the start of the simulation:
Extension exception: time: was expecting a number as argument 1, found this instead: {{time:logotime 2011-03-01}} error while observer running TIME:GO-UNTIL called by procedure GO-UNTIL called by Button 'go'
Here's an example from the documentation which should work correctly:
time:go-until time:plus t-datetime 1.0 "hour" ;; Execute events within the next hour; t-datetime is the current time. What am I missing?
