Timer in Wintermute
« on: October 17, 2010, 01:33:43 PM »
Hello, I'm quite new with wintermute......so I'm looking for help with something.

I want to put a timer on the game. A timer that is shown on the upper left corner of the screen.

this timer shall be active after a event (like reading someones diary). Before hand there should be no timer

when the timer gone down, the game fades to a new scene (either a game over scrren or a new room...you get the idea)


anyone that can help me with the scripts for this kind of thing?

Hi,

I am also new in Wintermute (but have some experience in programming and of course playing games  ;D).

Check this page: <wrong link>

This is an excellent free book on Wintermute. Check out what the writter says about "daemons" and also check out the contents of the "bomb.script" file.

How silly of me  ::slug

Actually, the specific link in the book is this:
http://res.dead-code.org/doku.php/wmebook:ch3

The writer explains the use of daemon scripts with the example of a bomb.script. Novrick can use this as an example to create a timer. As for depicting the timer value, I guess it is not difficult to make that out.
