Can a Constant "Get" Script Run?

[palistov]

...your only chance for a "global" timer may be through global.hps...

I've actually tried writing out void functions in the global.hps script but they're not responsive, at least when I tried called them using local scripts. I haven't dug deep into that though, so I may be wrong. But the best way I can think of creating a "global" timer would be using global vars.

global.hps

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnGameStart()
{    // how much time is left on the timer?    
    SetGlobalVarInt("TIMERTIME", 100);    
    // the duration of the global timer -- this value doesn't change
    SetGlobalVarInt("GLOBALTIMERdur", 100);
} 


map1.hps & map2.hps & map3.hps etc...

PHP Code: (Select All)

// may have to add a looping timer to constantly save the time left, just in case the player saves and exits the game, which does NOT count as OnLeave

void OnEnter()
{
    AddTimer("GLOBALTIMER", GetGlobalVarInt("TIMERTIME"), "CATASTROPHE");
}
void OnSaveLoad() // not sure if this even works, but it exists according to Apjjm! :D
{
    AddTimer("GLOBALTIMER", GetGlobalVarInt("TIMERTIME"), "CATASTROPHE");
}
void OnLeave()
{
    SetGlobalVarInt("TIMERTIME", GetTimerTimeLeft("GLOBALTIMER"));
    RemoveTimer("GLOBALTIMER");
}
