Reset Timer...

[Grags_1977]

Searchers... This is how you reset a Countdown Timer.

• Your Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Pause YourTimer
    • Countdown Timer - Start YourTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 120.00 seconds

Many thanks inevit4ble. :thup:

Grrr my trigger isn't working. It just gives me a blank timer window...

• Unit Attacked
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Attacking unit) Equal to Unit_Hero
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
    • Custom script: call DestroyTimer( udg_TimerFriendsAgain )
    • Player Group - Make (All players) treat (All players) as an Enemy
    • Countdown Timer - Start TimerFriendsAgain as a One-shot timer that will expire in 120.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for TimerFriendsAgain with title Wanted!
    • Countdown Timer - Pause (Last started timer)

What i'm after is every time the hero attacks a villager the timer resets back to 2 minutes.

I've searched high and low on the forums which is where I got the custom script. But all it's doing is giving me a blank timer window.


Any help please?

You just destroyed the TimerFriendsAgain timer before trying to run it. Try not destroying it.

You're not reading it correctly .
Destroy the timer first, then recreate it, which in theory should reset it. But obviously it isn't working.

The timer HAS to be destroyed because even though the window is not showing, the timer is still running in the background. This causes quite a few problems.

you want to "Pause Timer" and then when you "Start Timer" it resets. Destroying a timer cancels it out
