Is it possible to set the time for more than 99sec

[jonsilva]

Hello
I have a level that is not a bonus stage
Its a rush level where you fight one guy, and i wanted to the set the time for 5min
And make the level ending by adding livespawn of 499 to the enemy

Is it possible to add more than 99sec to the time clock
ive set level like this:
settime         200
noreset         1

Currently you can't.

Though there are some script solutions.


For example, make a countdown entity.


anim spawn
    delay 30000
     frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif
     @cmd jumptobranch "" 1
     frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif

thanks for the reply

but the level needs to show the time count on the screen
ill try to make with a few drop time items so the player doesnt die when the time runs out

i have another thing that i cant get it to work...
i cant get the player to use the anim respawn
the player always spawns with spawn anim


iam using a weapon in the current level
the level is set to setweap     4


both weapon and player txt have have this animation

playerweapon4.txt

Code: [Select]

anim respawn
loop 0
delay 7
offset 121 201
bbox 0 0 0 0


anim spawn
loop 0
delay 7
offset 121 201
bbox 0 0 0 0




player.txt

Code: [Select]

anim respawn
loop 0
delay 8
offset 121 201
bbox 0 0 0 0


anim spawn

do you know why the respaw anim is not working ?

 I think you can do what utunnels suggests and add custom timer to replace default timer. Of course, the latter must be disabled and set to 0 1st.

but i cant see how it can work

i wanted the time numbers to show on screen
utunnels way looks like the same than adding a livespawn of 30000 to the boss in the level
(this is a level where you only fight one guy and it ends when the time runs out)

i dont know how to create a custom timer of 300 in BOR
In C i think its something like:
for( int i = 0; i < 300; i++ )

... I cant rebember very well... i used to do this stuff years ago

 Well, since you have GI Joe mod, you can see how I made custom timer in missile room. You might need to change used font and change the distance between each number.

thanks
this timer is great !!!
ive added another number (timer5) with a delay of 10000 to make it like this "299.9"
and lifespawn of 299 to all timers

theres no need to change the font it looks good like this

[utunnels]

299.9

Perhaps something like

4:59


is better.

theres no need its fine like this...
