60 seconds until death

[FiLL2d]

ok, im making a script where if you go into the radius of 800m, you die within 60 seconds... but, if you go back out of the radius the time stops and if you go back into the radius it starts back on 60... ok i hope that made sense.

ok i just updated the script, my problem now is that it doesnt go past 50 seconds, can someone tell me what is going wrong... is it the _msg

note, i've only made startciv1, not the other 4

Code: [Select]

? (p1 == Player) AND (p1 distance columbia > 800) : Goto "startcivsaved"
? (p1 == Player) AND (p1 distance columbia < 800) : Goto "startciv1_2"

#start1_2~


I think you made a typo here...

Or Goto"start1_2,or #startciv1_2  is correct

[Triggerhappy]

i see a few things that don't make sense to me:
1) When you start in the safe zone, it will send you a message that you left the kill zone before your time was up, but the countdown never even started...

2)

Code: [Select]

#startcivdeath


? (p1 == Player) : Goto "death1"
? (p2 == Player) : Goto "death2"
? (p3 == Player) : Goto "death3"
? (p4 == Player) : Goto "death4"
? (p5 == Player) : Goto "death5"

#death1

p1 setdamage 1

#death2

p2 setdamage 1

#death3

p3 setdamage 1

#death4

p4 setdamage 1

#death5

p5 setdamage 1

#startcivsaved

? (p1 == Player) : Goto "save1"
? (p2 == Player) : Goto "save2"
? (p3 == Player) : Goto "save3"
? (p4 == Player) : Goto "save4"
? (p5 == Player) : Goto "save5"
with that, if the player who leaves happens to be p1, you're going to kill off all the others along with him.
you need to put a goto command there so it won't kill all of them
3) in reference to the same section as above, even if you kill the player, it will still tell him he got out in time
4)you never exit the script (the exit command)
5)

Code: [Select]

#check1
? (p1 == Player) AND (p1 distance columbia < 800) : Goto "startciv1"
? (p2 == Player) AND (p2 distance columbia < 800) : Goto "startciv2"
? (p3 == Player) AND (p3 distance columbia < 800) : Goto "startciv3"
? (p4 == Player) AND (p4 distance columbia < 800) : Goto "startciv4"
? (p5 == Player) AND (p5 distance columbia < 800) : Goto "startciv5"there are no startciv2, startciv3, startciv4, or startciv5 labels in your script
6)you never use the varible _unit that you are calling the script with

thats all for now, its bedtime

Why don't you just use a trigger radius 800; time 60.  But change the time mode from its default setting.  One of them is CountDown and the other is TimeOut.  I can't remember which is the default - I just remember what they do.

In the default mode activating the trigger will cause whatever is in the action field to occur after the specified time come what may.  But the other mode will do exactly what you want, it will stop counting once the conditions of the trigger cease to be met and will restart the clock again at the beggining once the conditions are met again.  Only when it reaches the specified time does it action whatever is in the activation field.
