Title: Timer Script
Post by: Kilo11 on 04 Jun 2004, 19:59:25

Hello,

I am making a training mission that requires you to drive down a road (in simple terms) and make it to the finnish.  There is a START and a FINISH that I have setup.


What I need is a script that would start once the driver enters the START trigger, it will start a clock watch if you will.  When the unit gets the the FINNISH trigger, the script will display the exact time that he/she took to finish the course.

If anyone could give me the command or script or point me in the right direction id be greatful.  Thanks!

The reserved variable time records the mission time.   By checking at at start and finish and doing some arithmetic. ..

Alternatively, the reserved local variable _time records the time since the script started.     Call a script at the start and extract the variable at the finish.

No time for details now, hopefully that will help.

Start a script where in the start trigger. Make it look like this:

@ blabla
hint format ["Your time was: %1 seconds.", _time]
exit

In the end trigger, turn the boolean blabla into true.
