Hi all, a question on "minutes of day" in Urwigo, however it may be more player related than Urwigo builder related: I'm using "minutes of day" to create some pseudo random number (pseudo random, because I want an unpredictable decision at some point, but if multiple people are playing the Wherigo together in a group on different devices, they shall get the same decision to run the same story on each player. However, the value seems to depend heavily on the player. Looks like Garmin is taking the local time including daylight saving time whereas WhereYouGo takes Greenwhich time without paying attention to daylight saving time (at least it is 120 minutes behind), although the phone itself displays the correct time. Anyone here who knows the backgrounds of those date/time values in Urwigo? Ciao, grusiggel

Sorry for the confusion, I found the mistake in my code. Months ago I had (at that time intentionally) set duration of the timer to zero at some point well hidden at another place in the code. Now given the requirement to be able to restart the timer that does not make sense anymore.

PLEASE IGNORE, see next post Hi all, I need some help regarding timers: In my cartridge people must reach one zone within a given time limit. For this I implemented a timer which is started on leaving the start zone, stopped on entering the target zone and expiring otherwise, which means people have failed to solve the task. However, they should get a second change. Therefore I want to send them to the start again and try the same task again. For resetting in Urwigo I set mytimer.remaining to mytimer.duration (hope these are the correct English expressions for "Verbleibend" and "Dauer" in German) and again start the timer when the person leaves the start zone. But with no impact: The timer does not run a second time. Am I missing anything to reset the timer and make it work a second time? Ciao, grusiggel

Maybe I misunderstand your suggestion, but isn't the checkbox "Save the project when the cartridge is built or run" under File>Settings>Build exactly what you desire?

Use "Set". To the left you drag ZoneN.Active (appears when you opened the zone at the bottom left), at the right you select True/False.

I'm experimenting with adding some intro sound, and the user shall wait until it completes. Better realize problems at the beginning than 5 miles later within the woods Two questions arise: 1. Is there a simple "wait x seconds" statement? Currently I added a timer and display messages and activate stuff when it elapsed, but there should be an easier way? Preferrably not showing the main page during the sound but some image? Or is there a general way to block everything during sound playback? 2. And how do I recognize that the cartridge is compiled for Garmin, so I can leave out waiting for the sound completion, as it is not played there? And two OpenWIG related observations: It seems that a sequence of two sounds starts simultaneously instead of after each other like in the emulator. And when I use "Stop sound" in the OnClick of an afterwards message, the sound is stopped already before hitting the OK button. Great builder so far, thanks a lot!
