I have blue mod, and now i was wondering: is it possible to have a timer system, and how?

Like 5 minutes, and bam you are dead?

:state=0:timerstart,state=1
:state=1,timergreater=300000:plraddhealth=-999

The current settings will kill the player after 5 minutes. I believe the 'plraddhealth' action is correct, I don't have the list open with me now so I can't be sure.

If you're using Project Blue, I would highly suggest using "etimerstart" and "etimergreater" since this will keep the global timer open for a script that actually needs it.

Ah yes, etimers, one of the greater additions to Plys mod, since Vanilla FPSC comes with only 1 timer, which is global and therefor is bad if you want multiple things running on a timer

I can't take full credit for the idea. Empty was the first to do it, but his Mod was only for V1.0 of FPSC. I simply took it along since it had GREAT potential.

Good old Empty's mod. I remember when it was the bees knees in terms of FPSC

does Vanilla FPSC 1.15 include the possibility to have a hud showing the time running when using the timer script?

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

Is it btw possible to let the countdown show up on the screen, so just the number going down?

Its possible in Vanilla, but really tedious, and due to the 100 line cap it would be a pain in the butt having to switch between multiple scripts To get a full timer, and then you'd have to make a bunch of huds, and overall not fun, much easier with Ply's

I tried empty's for allies, it was alright. I didnt know how to script, so I couldnt have taken full use of it. Was there ever a thread on empty's?

It's not so bad when you want to do whole seconds or longer intervals like his 5 minute request.

I made a multiple timer system for the stock (vanilla) FPSC engine (v109+) using the variables in v109.

It simply uses the global timer to increment separate variables each second.

So, you can then use the variables as separate timers by setting any variable to 0 as a way to timerstart that timer and then checking the value to count the seconds that have elapsed.

You can find it in The FPSC Scripts List sticky, or just click here.

So, with all you guys calling the stock engine 'Vanilla'...
Why isn't there a 'Chocolate' Mod yet?
Maybe you guys could call one of those new v115 mods, that have merged all the others, the "Chocolate FPSC".

I know, but others were talking/asking about stuff for the stock engine too. (v115 is higher than v109 so it will work)

With a title as simple as "Timer System" you are going to get stock users looking at the thread too, which is evident.

Besides, this stock version should work with any mod as long as the mod did not do away with the global timer or stock variable system.

The Mod way is simple:

Use "etimerstart" and "etimergreater". That will use the entity's timer and not the global timer. The only time I see the global timer being of benefit is if you have one script starting the timer and a few others waiting on it. Outside of that, you really have unlimited timers this way because each entity has it's own timer to use.
It's not anything really hard. Just use them in the same way you would use the normal timer.
