Timer counting up

06-05-2006, 07:43 PM

Is it in any way possible to make a Timer at the start of the game?

The reason is I want to give a player an amount of gold every minute following this formula:

Code:

Current Gold + Elapsed Game-Time*10

This is what I've got so far:

Trigger:

Action HillTimer

Events

Time - HillTimer expires

Conditions

Actions

Player - Set (Owner of EnteringUnit) Current gold to (((Owner of EnteringUnit) Current gold) + Formula Here)

As I said I can't find any Game-Time action anywhere so I would make a Timer that doesn't count down and multiply it by ten. Possible?

Captain Griffen	Trigger: Player - Set (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold to (((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold) + (Integer((Elapsed time for (Last started timer)))))

The)TideHunter(	Yes, as captain said use the timer. At map init start a timer that will expire in 100000000 seconds. Then use that function to see how long it has been running.

Saxe	But that would still require the Timer count "up", right? Edit: That was for Captain Griffen. Anyway, is that the only way to do it? Edit again: Just realised it wouldn't require it to count up, sorry for that.
