 ### mcl_time.get_number_of_times(last_time, interval, chance)
 -------------------------------------------------------------
-Handy to process AMBs.
+Returns the number of how many times something would probably happen if the area was active and we didn't skip the nights.
 
-You pass `last_time` - last known value of `seconds_irl`, also ABM `interval` and ABM `chance`.
+Arguments:
+ * `last_time` - you pass last known for you value of `seconds_irl`
+ * `interval` and `chance` - interval and chance like from ABM setup
 
 Returns:
- * Integer number of how many times ABM function should be called if the area was active all the time and you didn't skip the night.
+ * Integer number of how many times something would probably happen if the area was active all the time and we didn't skip the nights.
- * Integer value of realtime (not in-game) seconds since world creation.
