addon where you can set a timer/addon that counts up in a set time and multiple

timer to do what?

timer to do what?

just a timer that displays somewhere on the screen/in chat for one player

client sided, server sided, made with bricks, just a command?

Client Sided.

put this code into add-ons/client_timer/client.cs, along with a blank description.txt

Code: [Select]

function timerLoop()
{
cancel($timerSchedule);
NewChatSO.addLine($timerCount++);
$timerSchedule = schedule(1000, 0, timerLoop);
}

package timer
{
function NMH_Type::send(%this)
{
Parent::send(%this);
if(%this.getValue() $= "timer start")
{
$timerCount = 0;
timerLoop();
}
else
if(%this.getValue() $= "timer stop")
cancel($timerSchedule);
}
};
activatePackage(timer);

"timer start" and "timer stop" in chat to start/stop it
it counts in seconds, spamming your chat with a red number once a second
if you want it to act differently, let me know (ie not actually sending the timer start/stop message, changing the colour, different inputs/outputs or whatever)

can you make it so it has server and client sided capabilities? and so it can repeat itself automatically in a loop? i also want it to just echo a number after a set time.

[Kyuande]

can you make it so it has server and client sided capabilities?

why

[phflack]

you're being quite vague on what you want it to do
if you're more exact, then I can help you better

Code: [Select]

function timerLoop()
{
cancel($timerSchedule);
commandToServer('messageSent', "5");
$timerSchedule = schedule(10000, 0, timerLoop);
}

package timer
{
function NMH_Type::send(%this)
{
Parent::send(%this);
if(%this.getValue() $= "timer start")
timerLoop();
else
if(%this.getValue() $= "timer stop")
cancel($timerSchedule);
}
};
activatePackage(timer);

that updated code will start/stop on the same chat commands, but will now have you say a number in chat (5)
the timer loops every 10 seconds

not sure what you mean by server+client, while only echoing, so I just went with server+client and ignored the only echoing part

I meant like, so the person joining the server doesnt have to download the addon but can use it anywhere if they have it.

..so a server sided addon that displays the time on a centerprint/bottomprint? no client addon needed?

Well, sure. More like a server sided timer that counts up in a set amount of seconds but only to a person who has started the command and admins can spy on the timer's count and such.

I don't know exactly how to explain this.

[phflack]

server sided version, now spams admins and the person using it

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdTimer(%client, %msg)
{
if(%msg $= "start")
timerLoop(%client);
else
if(%msg $= "stop")
cancel(%client.timerLoop);
}

function timerLoop(%client)
{
cancel(%client.timerLoop);

for(%i = 0; %i < ClientGroup.getCount(); %i++)
if((%c = ClientGroup.getObject(%i)) == %client || %c.isAdmin)
messageClient(%c, '', "5");

%client.timerLoop = schedule(10000, 0, timerLoop, %client);
}

Thanks. Can you make it do it every 10 seconds or so in a tealish color? That would be perfect.

[phflack]

to make the text teal, change the "5" to "<color:00ffff>5"
you can change that 5 to whatever text/number you want
