More advanced timer functions?

[+Dr_Jeep]

Dear All,

 

could anyone help me how to set timer for for example 30 minutes to finish game, but after entering specific zone subtracting 10 minutes?

 

I plan to make cartridge concerned with change management.

 

Thanks in advance

Urwigo, Earwigo, Kit, GS ? You can set the time "on the fly". In your case...if zone is entered, then timer.duration=timer.duration-600. The player enters the zone, before he has 25mins left, then he has 15.

But you better make a query before ... if timer.remaining > 900 then timer.duration=timer.duration-600 or much better variable, depending on how minutes are left.

Hi,

 

many thanks - I use Earwigo.

 

One more issue - how to put timer couting down time onto a display of GPS/smarphone?

 

Take Care

There are 2 ways for showing a countdown, via messageboxes or via item description. But : this doesn't work on all players, especially on buggy iphone player.

 

Have a look to the item "Timertests" at my cartridge
