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.

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
