Timer & Keybind not working

**Arasonic** · 10-17-2010

EDIT: A bit misleading title, I want to know how to make a timer, not a timer that doesnt work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. How to make a simple timer, to say how long it is until you can <stuff>?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. So I got this from RTD3 and adding/changing stuff. But the +frag, G, wont work. I've tried changing keybinds and all that, but it just doesnt work. How come?

Code:

chooseClass(name1, number1, name2, number2, name3, number3, name4, number4, name5, number5, name6, number6)
{
self endon("death");
			self VisionSetNakedForPlayer("black_bw", 0);
			self thread Vision("black_bw");
			self freezeControls(true);

			Roll1 = self createFontString( "bigfixed", 0.6 );
			Roll1 setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, -100 );
			Roll1 setText( "Press ^3[{+moveleft}]^7 for " +name1 +" [" +(number1-1) +"]" );
			self thread Death(Roll1);

                  Roll2 = self createFontString( "bigfixed", 0.6 );
			Roll2 setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, -25 );
			Roll2 setText( "Press ^3[{+back}]^7 for " +name2 +" [" +(number2-1) +"]" );
			self thread Death(Roll2);

                 	Roll3 = self createFontString( "bigfixed", 0.6 );
			Roll3 setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, 115 );
			Roll3 setText( "Press ^3[{+activate}]^7 for " +name3 +" [" +(number3-1) +"]" );
			self thread Death(Roll3);

                 	Roll4 = self createFontString( "bigfixed", 0.6 );
			Roll4 setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, -85 );
			Roll4 setText( "Press ^3[{+forward}]^7 for " +name4 +" [" +(number4-1) +"]" );
			self thread Death(Roll4);

                  Roll5 = self createFontString( "bigfixed", 0.6 );
			Roll5 setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, -115 );
			Roll5 setText( "Burster - Choose a Weapon" );
			self thread Death(Roll5);

                  Roll6 = self createFontString( "bigfixed", 0.6 ); //70
			Roll6 setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, 45 );
			Roll6 setText( "Press ^3[{+moveright}]^7 for " +name5 +" [" +(number5-1) +"]" ); //PROBS
			self thread Death(Roll6);

                  Roll7 = self createFontString( "bigfixed", 0.6 ); //70
			Roll7 setPoint( "CENTER", "CENTER", 0, 130 );

			self thread Death(Roll7);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could I ask two more questions?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make a weapon have a GL, just haven't seemed to work for me. It shows up on the weapon, but you cant switch to it.

Code for blast shield, and code to increase how much it can resist.

Ehm, lolwut

**ch40s** · 10-18-2010

for the timer look at this, i made it for my gungame:

Code:

spawnProtection() //called on spawn
{
	self show();
	temp = true;
	self.protectiontimer = createTimer( "hudsmall", 1.0 );
	self.protectiontimer setPoint( "CENTER", "BOTTOM", 0, -200);
	self.protectiontimer setTimer( level.spawnProtectionTime );
	self.protectiontimer.color = (0.8,0.8,0.8);
	self.protectiontimer.foreground = true;
	self.protectionTimerText = self createFontString( "default", 1.5);
	self.protectionTimerText setParent( self.protectiontimer );
	self.protectionTimerText setPoint( "BOTTOM", "TOP" );
	self.protectionTimerText setText("^1Spawn protection ends in:");
	time = 0.0;
	while (time < level.spawnProtectionTime)
	{
		if(temp)
			self hide();
		else
			self show();
		self.health = 999;
		time += 0.1;
		temp = !temp;
		wait 0.1;
	}
	self.protectionTimerText destroy();
	self.protectiontimer destroy();
	self.health = self.maxHealth;
	self show();
}

where level.spawnProtectionTime is the time until the timer expires

Perhaps something.. easier? >.<

Code:

doTimer() {
	time = 30;
	for (;;) {
		for(i=1;i<(time);i++)
		{
			wait 1;
			level.timeleft = (time - i);
		}
	}
}

Why doesnt for example, this work?

Then have text added with level.timeleft

why do you have two for() loops, the outer one is not needed...

**Arasonic** · 10-19-2010

forgot to say I didnt make it, ehe.

**mathieutje12** · 10-20-2010

Try this 1

Code:

DoTimer()
{
	level endon ( "game_ended" );
	
	if(!isDefined(level.Time))
	{
		level.intermission = 0;
		level.Time = 120;
		level.gameState = "waiting";
	}
	
		for(ZST = 120; ZST > -1; ZST--)
		{
			level.Time = ZST;
			wait 1;
			
	
			if(level.Time == 0)
			{
				level Tread Name	
				level.gameState = "playing";

							}
		}
}
