Count Down

[CaptainBravo 0]

I am trying todo a mission with a counter where a team has 20 minutes to find 2 enemy snipers in a an area. If the do not find them within time limit game is over.

Is that possible by a simple triggor or needs a script?

Thanks for your help.

If you like to show a visible timer i would say you need a script, look here it helped me: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1583598&postcount=2

If you just need a non visible timer that pop up now and then and tells how long time is left you can easily do it with triggers like this:

Place a trigger that end mission and in condtion field put this: time > 1200

This will end mission after 20min.

Then you can add a trigger with time > 600 in condition field and hintSilent "10 minutes left" in On Act field.

Thanks JW. I shall try this eve.

Quick question: I assum in trig condition I have:

(alive enemy1) OR (alive enemy2) with the 12000 countdown and win1 end?

If after 29 minutes the units are still alive, the mission is over.

You should make the time > 1200 a lose trigger so when 20min is up you lose. Then you should have a end trigger with !alive enemy1 and !alive enemy2 as condition so that you win if enemy1 & enemy2 is dead.
