Stop Timer

[Opel]

Hey guys im wondering if it is possible to pause the timer i made so the person can see thier time when the press frag button. This is the code i use to destroy it so if it is possible how would i change it? If you dont get me here is a video. http://www.xfire.com/video/29ad18/

Code: Select all

TimerButtonstop()
{
       self endon("disconnect");
       self endon("killed_player");
       self endon("joined_spectators");

       for(;;)
       {
		if( self fragButtonPressed() && self isOnGround() )
		{
		     self thread removetimer();
                      wait 1;	
		}
		wait 0.05;
	}
}

removetimer()
{
	self endon("disconnect");
	self endon("killed_player");
	self endon("joined_spectators");
	
	self.timer destroy(); 
}

where is the code for your timer?

All you are currently doing is destroying it (which looking at your code is going to cause "undefined object" errors.

here is the full script. some of it when out of line

Code: Select all

TimerButton()
{
       self endon("disconnect");
       self endon("killed_player");
       self endon("joined_spectators");
	
		check1 = false;

       for(;;)
       {
		if( self useButtonPressed() && self isOnGround() )
		{
			check1 = true;
			wait 0.5;
		}

		if( check1 && self attackButtonPressed() )
		{
		      self thread timerstart();
                      wait 1;	
			check1 = false;
		}
		wait 0.05;
		check1 = false;
	}
}

TimerButtonstop()
{
       self endon("disconnect");
       self endon("killed_player");
       self endon("joined_spectators");

       for(;;)
       {
		if( self fragButtonPressed() && self isOnGround() )
		{
		      self thread removetimer();
                      wait 1;	
		}
		wait 0.05;
	}
}

removetimer()
{
	self endon("disconnect");
	self endon("killed_player");
	self endon("joined_spectators");
	
	self.timer destroy(); 
}

timerstart()
{
		self endon("disconnect");
		self endon("killed_player");
		self endon("joined_spectators");
		self endon("stop_timer");

	self.timer = newHudElem(self);
	self.timer.alignX = "center";
	self.timer.alignY = "middle";
	self.timer.horzAlign = "center";
    self.timer.vertAlign = "top";
   	self.timer.y = 100;
  	self.timer.fontScale = 1.6;
	self.timer.color = (0.8, 1.0, 0.8);
	self.timer.font = "objective";
	self.timer.glowColor = (0.3, 0.6, 0.3);
	self.timer.glowAlpha = 1;
	//self.timer SetPulseFX( 30, 900000, 700 );//something, decay start, decay duration
 	self.timer.hidewheninmenu = true;
	self.timer.label = &"Time    ";
	self.timer SetTenthsTimerUp( 1 );
}

I personally would change your method of doing it and creating your own timer.

Code: Select all

 self endon("end_time")
self.timer = 0;
time = 0.1;
while(1)
{
   wait time;
   self.timer += time;
} 

Use that is the value of a HUD element and then, when doing a 'self notify' you will stop the counter and the time will be kept on the elem until you destroy that.

Thanks mate. Just had time to try it and it works great
