This is probably a simple calculation, but if I have hyper triggers in my map, how many seconds in real time will it take for a DC to be 0 if it's decremented every cycle?

Code

DC = startValue;

while DC > endValue:
DC -= 1

Or rather, what's the formula to estimate the seconds it takes if a DC is at some startValue and is decremented by 1 until it reaches an endValue?

None.

17 DC = 1 real life second
with hyper triggers at #x2.99

Assuming the game speed is on fastest.

A trigger cycle is 84 milliseconds with hyper triggers, so to calculate exactly one second, you divide 1000 milliseconds by 84.

1000 / 84 = ~11.9047619

Therefore, approximately 12 DCs is equivalent to one second.

Ultraviolet -- hell yeah. did you have trouble making the button functional, or just haven't gotten there yet?

Symmetry -- I made the marine shoot lasers and gave the medic a nonfunctional button

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
