if you bothered to look at scripts you could figure it out easily on your own, it took me about 10 misn to realuise how it was all done, also making a topic title I NEED HELP is pointless, if you said script tiemr problems or something then experienced scripters would see it and help

[m@tt]

Agreed. I bet you haven't even tried.

But as we're here to help:

Scripts > New Script > IF True, THEN set timer to expire in x seconds.
New Script > IF timer y has expired THEN spawn unit at waypoint z.

As you can see i changed the pointless topic name and i need some more help i you do not mind.I created new script and i left IF TRUE as it is.When i found ''set timer??? to expire in 0.00??? seconds'' i had to change the seconds and the timer???.I do not know what to write at timer???.Can you help me again.





A friend of mine told me that at the timer???, which i have to change, i need to type the name of the timer i have already made with another script.You did not mention something like that.Can you help me again?Meanwhile i will try to find out by myself.If i will i will post it here.

You set the name of the timer in the first script

[Shitman]

You mean when i do this? Scripts > New Script > IF True, THEN set timer to expire in x seconds.If you mean that when i put a name for the timer it has a warning lower that it doesn't exist.

[m@tt]

I know, its just a bug. The next time you open the Scripts window, the error message will be gone.

[Shitman]

Are you kidding me?All this trouble for the bug?Anyway thanks i will give it a try.If anything goes wrong i will post it here.

[Shitman]

Hey it works.For 3 days i was trying to solve that problem.When i saw the warning i thought there was no point pressing ok.Thanks!!!!!!!!!

hi dudes ...

well i did the same but i think i made something wrong... but another question:

does ur timer show on the map?
cuz i can't see it ingame...
and if i have to do something for showing it ingame, pls tell me what

thx

[Shitman]

My timer is working as far as i know but i have the same question as you do.I can not see it.

[Guess Who]

good job just if i knew how to map but no point on me learning.

[Grizzlez]

there is a script for that, show timer blah blah or something

[{IP}WrathChild]

So


IF True

THEN
Set timer 'Timer1' to 10 seconds
Show Timer 'Timer1' with Localised string: 'Time left'


NOTE: U'll find show timer at the section 'Interface' => 'Counters And Timers' and with localised string you'll get MISSING: Time left in game. To erase that you will have to make a map.str file with notepad and write:

SCRIPT:TIMER01
"Time left"
END

then save ur file into the map folder and change 'Show Timer 'Timer1' with Localised string: 'Time left' ' to
'Show Timer 'Timer1' with Localised string:SCRIPT:TIMER01'


Hope I could be of any help
