Chat message setting a timer?

[ashst0rm]

I need a trigger that allows red to type something like -time 900 and it sets the timer to 900 seconds (15 mins).

This is what i got but it dont work at all.

set time
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -time as A substring
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start GameTime as a One-shot timer that will expire in (Real((Entered chat string))) seconds

Well, "Real((Entered chat string))" is the entire string as it was typed.
You only want the part after "-time ".

So, Real( substring( (entered chat string), 7, 100) ) should do it.

Thanks so like this

set time
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -time as A substring
    Conditions
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start GameTime as a One-shot timer that will expire in (Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 100)))) seconds

Trying it would actually have been quicker than posting here...

But, yes, FWIW, looks good.

Note: might be 6 instead of 7, I never remember if substring starts counting at 1 or at 0.
A test will tell you.
