Heyhey,

i just read the wiki article about Death Counter based timer which is really nice!
But i have some questions about it:
1. Has the Player who is getting the timer to be "Neutral"?
2. In wiki the condition for setting the desired amount is "Never" .... O_o?! (Could i replace it instead with "...death is 0"?)
3. Do i need to use substract only? Or could I start from 0 and adding values?
3a. I tried "add" and resetting on value 10 - It was about 15-16 seconds till a new loop startet - In wiki is written: "If you are using hyper triggers on fastest, the counter will change 12 times per real-time second" - how do those difference could be? has it to do with 1. and 3.? (I'm using 4x62 "Wait for 0 ms" hypers on same player who has the timer-trigger)

Thanks in advance


Edit:
Testet it now with substracting values from a starting value of 120
When im using it on Player 6 (the one with hypers and nothing else) It took about 1 or 2 minutes till a new loop started (sry i didnt take the time, but surely it was a lot longer than 10 sec.)
Changing the triggers to Neutral did not work at all...

Edit2: reading through the FAQ "PLAYERS 9, 10, 11, and 12" makes it clear why it doesnt work for neutral, im just curious why its written that way in the wiki

I always put my hypers on All Players and don't use any other mode of waits in my maps.

I believe both of these are placeholders, set the player to anything you want instead of neutral. Just remember that if the player is not there, the triggers he owns will be ignored. This applies to neutral players as well, since there is no player/computer, their triggers do no operate.
Using 0 as the end for timers is generally a good idea if you ever decide to increase how long that specific timer goes for by simply changing the amount you add.
Hm, and your hypers are preserved of course?




Those two triggers will give you a 10-second timer, roughly. If you want to get more exact, do 12.6(?) deaths and multiply it by the amount of seconds you want. Then remove anything after the decimal or round it up, etc.

11.9 (or 1000/84, to be perfectly exact).

I checked it to be sure but yes they are preserved (thats why there are only 62 wait-triggers in one triggerblock )
This is what my triggers look like:




I measured with the countdowntimer which is running there for other purposes and the Trigger looped after 195 Countdowntimer-seconds...
In case you want to check this out for yourself i attached the map. (Make sure to go into Force "Commander" (Pl 7) before starting the map.)

Edit:
To check if those deathcounter based timers really work i made a brand new map...and well there it worked really fine, i guess those issues have to do something with my map :><: ... ill check triggers tomorrow and will share the results

Edit2:
*doh* Im sorry, im dumb again - There where wait triggers for the leaderboard. Because they did belong to all players some waitblocks occured. Fixing it was quite eazy.

I <3 Dathcounter timers


But another question just for interests:
The wiki says its possible to adjust the deathcounter so that it fits to the Countdown-Timer - how could that be done? I imagine a system of two Deathtimers would work ?!
