Hi,

For my game idea I would like to record the time it takes the player to complete each level, so that the game can reward the player if a certain time limit is not exceeded, etc.

Has anyone tried this before? If so would you be willing to let me know how this was done? I don't need the details of your implementation, just some guidance on what the conditions/actions you used were. I'm keen to do the scripts myself.

Use a timer.

:state=0:timerstart,state=1

Then to check if the time is greater than say 3 minutes.However the timer is in milliseconds,so you'll have to figure out how much will that be in milliseconds.

:state=1,plrdistwithin=200:reward player with something
:state=1,timergreater=x:state=2
:state=2,plrdistwithin=200:do something to indicate that the player failed

Basically you put this over the winzone in a trigger zone or dynamic light.It checks if the player is in a radius of 2 segments (easily adjustable 1x100 = segment) .This is some trickery , but it should work.

If the timer is greater than x which should be a time in milliseconds,it changes a state to 2 and the player gets told he failed(improvise).

Anything under that time will be considered a pass.The trick is for the player to be within 2 segments radius to trigger it.
