Count Down fix? - Fantje - 09.10.2015

Hi guys,

I made a count down like 300 seconds ( 5 minutes ) but it shows ingame how many seconds that are left so fom 300 to 0. What I want is that it shows the minutes : seconds e.g. 04:49 . How can I fix it?

My codes:

PHP Code:



 // Counter

        CountDownFromAmount = 300; // 5minutes

        SetTimer("CountDownTimer", 999, 1);

PHP Code:



new CountDownFromAmount;

                forward CountDownTimer();

PHP Code:



public CountDownTimer()

{

    CountDownFromAmount--;

    new string[128];

    format(string, 128, "%d", CountDownFromAmount);

    TextDrawSetString(Text:MissionCount, string);

    TextDrawShowForAll(Text:MissionCount);

    if (CountDownFromAmount == 0)

    {

        GameTextForAll("", 3000, 5);

    }

    return 1;

}

Peace

PHP Code:



 new CountDownSeconds, CountDownMinutes, CountDownTimer; 



        CountDownSeconds = 60;

        CountDownMinutes = 5;

        CountDownTimer = SetTimer("CountDownTimer", 999, 1); 



forward CountDownTimer();  

public CountDownTimer() 

{ 

    CountDownSeconds--;

    if(CoundDownSeconds == 0)

    {

         CountDownMinutes--;

         CountDownSeconds = 60;

    }

    new string[128]; 

    format(string, 128, "%d:%d", CountDownMinutes, CountDownSeconds); 

    TextDrawSetString(Text:MissionCount, string); 

    TextDrawShowForAll(Text:MissionCount); 

    if (CountDownMinutes == 0) 

    { 

        GameTextForAll("", 3000, 5);

        KillTimer(CountDownTimer);

    } 

    return 1; 

}

Would most likely work, didn't tested it tho'.

Hello x)

Code:

//minutes
new mins;
mins = floatround(CountDownFromAmount/60, floatround_floor);
//seconds
new seconds;
seconds = CountDownFromAmount;
while (seconds > 60)
{
    seconds -= 60;
}

Doing this for the first time so I am not sure if this will work, here are some SA-MP Wiki links you can use

I am beginner so I don't know how to use that for my script

Thanks btw

pawn Code:

seconds = timeleft % 60;
minutes = timeleft / 60;

Very simple and based on the fact that an integer divided by an integer remains an integer; any fractional part is discarded. And as such, for example, 119 divided 60 yields 1.

Also kindly note that your countdown will run into negative values. You have a repeating timer which you cannot kill because you didn't assign it to a variable.

Re: Count Down fix? - Balcan Fox - 09.10.2015

floatround will round a value(for example: timer is on 280 seconds, it will do this 280/60=4.67, this function will round 4.67 to 4(closest integet lower than 4.67). That means there are 4 minutes in 280 seconds.)
while function - will repeat "seconds = seconds - 60" until it gets to lower than 60(lower than 1 minute) and it will show exact number of seconds in that minute.
Use this for seconds and minutes:

Code:

format(string, 128, "Minutes: %d  Seconds: %d", mins, seconds);

Add my code under CountDownTimer public.

In normal math, yes. In computer math, no. Read my reply.

This works in reverse, it will add time
however display
05:00 04:59 ...

//start CountDownFromAmount = 0, stop 300

PHP Code:



public CountDownTimer(){  //This function must be performed every 1 second

    CountDownFromAmount++; 

    new string[128], timesmin, timessek; 

    timesmin = ((300-(CountDownFromAmount))/60);

    timessek = (300-((CountDownFromAmount)+((timesmin)*(60))));

    format(string, sizeof(string), "%02d:%02d", timesmin, timessek); 

    TextDrawSetString(Text:MissionCount, string); 

    TextDrawShowForAll(Text:MissionCount); 

    if(CountDownFromAmount == 300){ 

        GameTextForAll("", 3000, 5); 

    }

    return 1; 

}

@Vince:I am doing this for the first time and I though it will work in Pawn as well. I have learned something new today, thank you
