# relativeTime

The start time of the event, relative to other events in the same pattern.

## Declaration

```swift
var relativeTime: TimeInterval { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion A relativeTime of zero indicates immediate playback. Another haptic event starting one second later would have a relativeTime of 1.
