Title: hoz_timer serialization error
Post by: CaptainBravo on 22 Mar 2010, 11:39:22

Hey everyone,

I am using the countdown timer by hoz but for osme reason I keep getting following error at begining of mission:

"Variable 'hoz_timer' does not support serialization and should not be stored in the mission namespace."

It still works but just annoying. Anyone knows how to fix?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Hoz, works great now. Last related question, what do I need to change to have timer stays on longer,so every time it comes up it stays for 60 seconds.

Thanks for your help.

[[warningFreq],maxTime,displayTime,timeFormat] execvm "hoz_timer\scripts\HozTimer.sqf";
[[120,60,30,10],120,10,"HH:MM:SS"] execvm "hoz_timer\scripts\HozTimer.sqf";

You  need to change the displayTime in the init.sqf

Thanks hos. I must be a bit sssslow today but still shows up only for 2 seconds.

This is what I have in first line in init:

HOZ_timerOn =true;
[[1200,900,600,300,120,30],1200,30,"HH:MM:SS"] execvm "hoz_timer\scripts\HozTimer.sqf";

Wanting to stay up for 30 seconds but only shows for 2 seconds  ???

Even version you downloaded from OFPEC does this? I just tried it and for sure it was counting down from 30 seconds.
