[REQUEST] - Timers ID

[Nico]

Hi everybody,

This extension allows to count the time elapsed by an ID...

Just a little request, i think this is extension can to be simple to make:

[ACTIONS]
Start Timer (id$)
Pause Timer (id$)
Resume Timer (id$)
-----
Reset Timer (id$)

[CONDITIONS]
Every... (id$, value in milliseconds)
Compare Timer (id$, comparebox)
----
timer is pause? (id$)
timer is reset? (id$)

[EXPRESSIONS]
GetTime (id$)

Unfortunally, "Timer X" don't do this!

If you have some ideas
If a developer is interested, I can to make a icon for object ...

Interestingly enough, I was thinking about an object like this the other day.

This sounds like a great idea!

You'd be interested to develop it?

Time X does infact do all this. The only thing it won't do is the condition "timer is pause? (id$)". But you can start and stop individual timers.

When you place the extension, it asks how many timers you want. These are the Global Timers.

Then to get their value, you simply use the expression:
GetTimer( "Time X", 4)

where 4 is the ID of the timer you want.

There are actions and conditions for comparing the timers, starting, stopping, and resetting the timers.

Ah!? but how to do "every x seconds on Timer N°4" by example ?

[Nico]

Ah yeah, you've reason, I can do it!
I think can to be simplify, but I can do this!

[netninja]

You're right. It doesn't have the "every x seconds" condition, but you can just make that yourself with the general comparision:

GetTimer( "Time X", 1) mod 10000 = 0

For every 10 seconds.

Or use the Restrict actions condition when the counter is counting.

Yes, I use "Timer is counting (id)" condition with "Every" and it's OK
