Stop watch script by triggers

[loopdk 92]

Hallo guys.

 

 

I am trying to make a small obstacle cource

 

I am trying to have 

 

1 a trigger to start time

2 a trigger to stop time 

3 a viseble timer on scrren while the triggers ar activ...

 

 

google is not my friend :/

1. Place a start trigger

    - on activation:

time_start = diag_tickTime;
time_running = true;
0 = [] spawn
{
   while {time_running} do
    {
      _time = (diag_tickTime - time_start) call BIS_fnc_secondsToString;
      hintSilent format ["Time: %1",_time];
      sleep 1;
   };
};

2. Place a end trigger

    - on activation:

time_running = false;

I hope that helps.

Remove the comments, everything behind //

It works..... almost..... the time is way to fast!!

Test sleep 1; instead of sleep 0.1;

I updated my code with a more accurate solution. See above.

Hey, sorry for coming back onto an old thread. But im trying to use this script which is working, however, is there any way I can make a timer that shows milliseconds too? Like a race timer, for example, I want people to see there tenths. Cheers :) 

[R3vo 2652]

time_start = diag_tickTime;
time_running = true;
0 = [] spawn
{
   while {time_running} do
    {
      _time = [(diag_tickTime - time_start),"MM:SS.MS"] call BIS_fnc_secondsToString;
      hintSilent format ["Time: %1",_time];
      sleep 0.001;
   };
};

 

That should work, although it's not 100% accurate.

I am making an obstacle course and plan to have 3 courses side by side. I have a stop watch script that works well for only one stop watch at a time. Is there a way to run 3 timers at the same time with start and stop triggers for each stop watch and course.

    - on activation:

time_start = diag_tickTime; time_running = true; 0 = [] spawn {    while {time_running} do     {       _time = (diag_tickTime - time_start) call BIS_fnc_secondsToString;       hintSilent format ["Time: %1",_time];       sleep 1;    }; };

2. Place a end trigger

    - on activation:

time_running = false;

when i automated my competition shooting mission, i set the starting time and final time as variables on the timer itself. Set an action or trigger that fires a loop(if you need to see the time displayed continually), or set the start time and end time and subtract them to see the total time(more accurate than a loop timer unless you perform checks every 5 seconds or so to set the time to the proper time). what you could do is set the start time on the timer right as the script starts/trigger activates and start your loop. have a local variable be your current time. every 5 seconds, get the current time with "time" and subtract start time from it, then set your current time varaible to equal it. you can run multiple timers at once but keep in mind a hint will get overwritten with each new hint
