Timer which counts up then display in seconds in tooltip

[ecstatic]

Hey guys.

Im not too sure what im doing wrong here, but if any could tell me that would be aweesome.

So basically, i have a loop which goes like this

1) Starts game

2) Logs in

3) Creates game - TIMER STARTED

4) Does ingame functions

5) Goes back to create-game screen.

Now @ number 5 it wait until the timer reaches 90 seconds or whatever the specified time is. Then it loops back to number 3.

Whats wrong with my tooltip and code.

Func CreateGame()
    
$timer = _Timer_Init()

....creates game...
endfunc

Func Lobby
    Do
        Tooltip("Sleeping for " & _Timer_Diff($timer) &" Seconds.", 0, 0, "D2AI")
        Sleep(10)
    Until _Timer_Diff($timer) >= 180000; 3 minutes
Endfunc

You should be using TimerInit and TimerDiff.

if the tooltip is not going up then it's prob that $timer cant be passed to other funcs unless you make it global or pass it via func()

Oh yes, I'd missed that the $timer was used in a different function.

What is the difference between _Timer_init and timerinit, it didnt change anything on my side.

The timer goes up, but i want to make it appear in seconds and counting down for the user.

Wait so how do i pass it to another function or global like you guys said.

well if the tooltip is going up then you must have already declared the $timer as global.

to make it go down it would just be Tooltip("Sleeping for " & 180000 - _Timer_Diff($timer) &" Seconds.", 0, 0, "D2AI")

Testing.. Brb

Now it is counting down, but it still is in miliseconds and not seconds >.<

o and seconds is a division by 1000 so

Tooltip("Sleeping for " & (180000 - _Timer_Diff($timer))/1000 &" Seconds.", 0, 0, "D2AI")

or

Tooltip("Sleeping for " & 180 - (_Timer_Diff($timer)/1000) &" Seconds.", 0, 0, "D2AI")

EDIT: got confused by "reaches 90 seconds" & "180000; 3 minutes" which you used both of in the question , no matter , im sure you get the idea

My suggestion :

$timer = TimerInit()
  
Do
    Tooltip("Sleeping for " & Round(TimerDiff($timer)/1000) &" Seconds.", 0, 0, "D2AI")
    Sleep(10)
Until TimerDiff($timer) >= 10000

This displayed the sconds correctly! but the delay is off, it auto-makes regardless of how long the game was

[JackDinn]

you need to do the same kinda thing to this part as well

Until TimerDiff($timer) >= 10000 ; i mean this is 10 seconds and will always be 10 seconds, you need to set it to the time you want or use a variable
