Timer

[Furyshots]

Could anyone help me with making a timer script?
If you touch a npc in game there should be a timer (I would like a visible one, but an invisible one is good too), and if you touch another npc the timer needs to stop. I hope you guys can help me out .

1. Be clear on your ability level. In other words, do not post asking for scripts, or asking people to fix scripts that are above your ability level. If you are writing a script to aid learning, then try writing a simpler script. If you are looking for a script for a server, then the best solution is probably to hire a scripter.

Basically: please don't ask for complete scripts. If you require such things, ask for a NAT in the playerworld hirings subforum but please adhere to the rules there.

Have you tried making such a script yourself?

I can make really really simple scripts, but I dont know how to start on making a timer. Could you guys help me out or tell me what commands I need to use etc.

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  this.time = 0;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  this.time++;

  message #v(this.time);

  timeout = 1;

}

---

You can also do:

NPC Code:

---

while(1 == 1) {

  this.time++;

  message #v(this.time);

  sleep 1;

}

Up to you really. If you need help with anything else feel free to forum PM me or contact me via AIM (Tigairius).

Don't use a while loop, it will probably stop at the maxlooplimit which is 10,000 by default. If you want an unending loop always use timers or scheduled events.

Even if you did use a while loop it should be while (true) {}

I'm pretty sure there isn't a loop limit offline. I may be thinking of the days pre v2 though.

I don't really see why anything more than a timeout is needed.
