Countdown Timer on screen

[hellstorm77 2]

I was wondering if someone could help me with a little script? What im trying to is active a trigger and on doing so a box appears with a count down timer

[supergruntsb78 67]

perhaps you can take a look at these script files it has the timer you want implented in it

[cobra4v320 27]

[300] execVM "timer.sqf"

timer.sqf

private "_time";
_time = _this select 0;

while {_time > 0} do {
_time = _time - 1;  
hintSilent format["Time Left: \n %1", [((_time)/60)+.01,"HH:MM"] call BIS_fnc_timetostring];	
sleep 1;
};

Hello there, I can't figure it out, when I enter the [your_start_time_here] execVM "timer.sqf" in the trigger on activation, it say to me : type script, nothing exept. Could you help me?

[Harzach 2505]

Have you created the timer.sqf script and placed it in the root of your mission folder?

[Obi Juan Kenobi 0]

yup

[Harzach 2505]

Have you replaced your_start_time_here with a number?

[Obi Juan Kenobi 0]

yes 70

[Harzach 2505]

Oh, in the trigger's onAct, it should be:

nul = [your_start_time_here] execVM "timer.sqf";

Excellent contribution, it really helped me a lot. Now, how can I change the color of the numbers that are being discounted? and at the moment of finishing the count as I do so that the information of the counter is beliminated on the screen? Thank you

For color you might use something like this:

//function:
TAG_fnc_coloredCountdownHint = {
	_color = "#45f442";//green
	_timeLeft = TAG_fnc_countdownEndTime - time;
	if (_timeLeft < 16) then {_color = "#eef441";};//yellow
	if (_timeLeft < 6) then {_color = "#ff0000";};//red
	if (_timeLeft < 0) exitWith {
		//exit and remove eventhandler while politely closing the door
		removeMissionEventhandler ["EachFrame",_thisEventHandler];
		hintSilent parseText format ["<t color='%1'>--- Time is up! ---</t>",_color];
	};
	hintSilent parseText format ["Time Left:<br/><t color='%1'>--- %2 ---</t>", _color, [(_timeLeft/3600),"HH:MM:SS"] call BIS_fnc_timetostring];
};

//calling the function:
_duration = 20;
TAG_fnc_countdownEndTime = time + _duration;
addMissionEventHandler ["EachFrame",{[] call TAG_fnc_coloredCountdownHint}];

Cheers

Sorry to ask this I'm kind of noobish but how/where do I put this in.

 

Also, if I want to have another trigger activate when the timer ends, how would I be able to do that.

 

Will this works in a dedicate server ?

 

Thanks in advance script wizards of BI forum.
