Timer window displaying game time elapsed

[Senkin]

I have tried for over a hour now on making a timer window that shows the amount of game time that has elapsed. Or a timer inside of a multiboard that shows the game time that has elapsed.

An example is in DOTA, it has the time elapsed.

So if somone can post me a trigger that will do it, that be great.
Thanks in a head of time.

You could do something that adds to a variable every second and displays it. It would be laggy, but it would work.

umm can u make a timer or something like that, that counts up? Im never seen one but im not sure.

 

[DM Cross]

It would be similar to what Silverhawk just suggested: Making a variable, and every second you add 1. However, I'm not so sure that would work for a measure of 60...But I'm sure you could play around with it. Hopefully there are some easier and less lag-endusing ways to do such a thing.

I tried and tried I couldent get it to work or make one. If somone can find a unprotected ver of dota that work.

Bump. I still need help here. :banghead:

Don't tell me this was falling off the first page already.

    set udg_Minutes = ( ( R2I(TimerGetElapsed(udg_LBTime)) / 60 ) - ( 1 / 2 ) )
    set udg_Seconds = ModuloInteger(R2I(TimerGetElapsed(udg_LBTime)), 60)
    if ( not ( udg_Seconds < 10 ) ) then
        call MultiboardSetItemValueBJ( GetLastCreatedMultiboard(), 3, 14, ( " " + ( I2S(udg_Minutes) + ( ":0" + I2S(udg_Seconds) ) ) ) )
    else
        call MultiboardSetItemValueBJ( GetLastCreatedMultiboard(), 3, 14, ( " " + ( I2S(udg_Minutes) + ( ":" + I2S(udg_Seconds) ) ) ) )
    endif

Can you explain what I did that was wrong? I read the rules 3 times b4 and i dont really know what I did wrong. I will read again and see what I did wrong/

Ryoko, I tried reading that but I guess im not smart enough to know hwo to make that for my multiboard.

 

[sqrage]

umm i think you bumped too early... and try warcraft.org and download a dota there i know at least 1 is unprotected.

 

[Senkin]

Ohh thanks sqrage for tellin me. I will go look right now.

 

[Senkin]

Did you not see the code Ryoko posted? It has to be in JASS, and if you don't know JASS, go learn JASS.

 

[Senkin]

Well I first dont know if that will even work in my multiboard, second I am not spending a few days learning a program code I plan only to use on this game. I think I will try and find another way if anything.

Thanks for the nice wording.

You can do it in GUI to. I dont know it maybee more laggy or somthing but it works

            Then - Actions
                Leaderboard - Change the label for Neutral Hostile in TimerBord to (((String(Timeinminuits)) + .) + (0 + (String(Timeinseconds))))
            Else - Actions
                Leaderboard - Change the label for Neutral Hostile in TimerBord to (((String(Timeinminuits)) + .) + (String(Timeinseconds)))

You can have a multiboard to but i did it as a leaderboard. Remember you can only have one leaderboard at time, I think.

You can have a leadorboard and a multiboard i remember seeing maps that have both.

When you do that, I find it convenient to have a trigger that alternates them, because it tends to clutter the screen. Or, just combine them if the situation allows.

I got one made with the multiboard and leaderboard at once, but I dont like it I would like if I can find a way to put the multiboard with the gamer time in it. Only issue I have is making a row to put it in since my multiboard makes rows by the active players that join.
