Check the timer.

[almost cool]

I have a timer for a gamemode that will switch the teams every 140 seconds. Is there a way to check the timer and return a string, just so that i can show the time left. I can work out the HUD from there.

Set a value when you start the timer or on every iteration and use CurTime to check the time since that var

So, Theoretically, This?

function StartTimer()
timer.Create("MatchTime", 240, 0, ShowTimer(CurTime( )))
end

function ShowTimer()
local Start = arg[1]
local End = (Start + 240)

	If CurTime( ) = End then
	Switch()
	end
end

[-TB-]

If your wanting to show the time updated every second you need to use a think hook.

Well I did this, and it only made it go to base gamemode.

function StartTimer()
timer.Create("MatchTime", 240, 0, ShowTimer)
end

function ShowTimer()
local Start = CurTime( )
local RoundEnd = (Start + 240)

	If (CurTime( ) = RoundEnd) then
	Switch()
	end
end
hook.Add( "Think", "ShowTheTimer", ShowTimer)

You capitalized your If.

Thanks, but that didn't appear to be the problem.

You are using = instead of == to check for equality.

Crazy, I dedicate this to you....

People are finding more abstract ways to thank you now.

I wasn't sure if it's a bad or a good thing. :smile:

Nothing bad, I was just feeling a bit artsy.
