Advanced Timer

Written by Hblade

Step 1

Programming the timer

Open up Global code and put this code in it

Code: Select all

int framecount;
void Wait(int f)
{
    framecount = framecount + 1;
    if (framecount == f)
    {
        switch(temp)
        case 0:
        temp = 1;
        framecount = 0;
    }
}


Make a variable and call it temp, make it an actor variable

Step 2

Using the timer

Open up the actor you wan't the timer to apply to, then click Draw Actor - Script editor, then put this code in

Code: Select all

Wait(189);
if (temp == 1)
{
enter your code
}


It wil wait for 189 frames then it will initiate the code

Nicely done.

Why not implement two actor variables, since you are already using one? That way any actor can call the function, and framecount won't get confused. Just switch framecount to an actor variable. It wouldn't hurt efficiency, as only actors with the function call would have a changing framecount.
