settime

[Gurtag]

hey guys, how does settime works?  i am working a bonus level that require more 99, have been seting it to 200 but it doesnt seem to have any effect, it still display 99 at start and the level ends when those 99 runs out.

The timer is hard coded to 0-99. If you try to set anything out of bounds your value is ignored.

damn, i see, will edit the level to work with that 99, thanks a lot for the info damon.

You can disable the timer and make a game timer on your own, using script. Then you can force the level and using script too

You have two ways to do it:

Via script:

Added "game_time" to script accessible engine variants.

int game_time = Openborvariant(“game_time”);

changeopenborvariant(“game_time”, game_time);
Acceptable range is 0-99. Any value exceeding range in either direction will be overwritten to nearest acceptable value on the next engine cycle.

Via item:
Create a item with health 0 as here, and when you touch it, time is resetted to 99

name	   Time
health	   0
type	   item
shadow	   0
facing     1

[O Ilusionista]

Toranks as DC explained, the time can go further than 99. It doesn't changes if it's an item or by script, it's hard coded to bingo beyond 99.

 

[Toranks]

I said it in case he can do it with an alternative by modifying the clock in the middle of the stage
