countdown for all

[zombienation]

hello,

i was wondering if there is anybody here who knows how to add a countdown that is visible for all? perhaps in chat..

i found this countdown but its only visible for the one who type the command,

function Countdown ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/10.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown9, 1000, 1 )

outputChatBox ( "countdown started", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true )

end

function Countdown9 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/9.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown8, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown8 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/8.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown7, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown7 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/7.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown6, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown6 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/6.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown5, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown5 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/5.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown4, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown4 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/4.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown3, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown3 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/3.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown2, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown2 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/2.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown1, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown1 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/1.png",false)

setTimer ( Countdown0, 1000, 1 )

end

function Countdown0 ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

imagecount = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,320,81,"images/go.png",false)

setTimer ( CountdownEnd, 3000, 1 )

end

function CountdownEnd ( source )

guiSetVisible ( imagecount, false )

end

addCommandHandler ( "countdown", Countdown )

what u have posted shows images...

if u just want something simple in the chat, then:

function countdown(player) 
    local name = getPlayerName(player) 
    outputChatBox(name .. ":- Countdown: 3",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
    setTimer(outputChatBox,1000,1,name .. ":- Countdown: 2",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
    setTimer(outputChatBox,2000,1,name .. ":- Countdown: 1",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
    setTimer(outputChatBox,3000,1,name .. ":- GO GO GO!!!!",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
end 
addCommandHandler("count",countdown) 

if u want something more complex, say so... this is just a basic countdown from 3.

ive added the players name so u can see whos activating it.

also, this is serverside.

[Blaawee]

scopy what about mine is it work ?

[Cadu12]

-- SERVER SIDE --

  
function onCountdown(player) 
    for i=1, 11 do 
        setTimer(triggerClientEvent, i*1000, 1, getRootElement(), "onSetCountdown", getRootElement(), i) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("countdown", onCountdown) 
  

-- CLIENT SIDE --

  
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
local showhide = false 
local countdown = 0 
  
function onRenderCountdown() 
    if showhide then 
        if countdown == 10 then 
            dxDrawImage(screenWidth/2 - 320, screenWidth/2 - 81, 320, 81, "images/go.png") 
        else 
            dxDrawImage(screenWidth/2 - 110, screenWidth/2 - 190, 110, 190, "images/" .. countdown .. ".png") 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), onRenderCountdown) 
  
function onSetCountdown(count) 
    if count < 11 then 
        countdown = count 
        showhide = true 
    else 
        showhide = false 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onSetCountdown", true) 
addEventHandler("onSetCountdown", getRootElement(), onSetCountdown) 
  

I didnt tested yet.

Yours is messed up, no offense.

-=I Blaawee I=- you used 9 functions for a simple countdown script, that is retarded

Here is the clientside component:

  
local countdownImage, countdownCount 
function startCountdown() 
    countdownImage = guiCreateStaticImage(305,119,110,190,"images/10.png",false) 
    setTimer(decrementCoundown, 1000, 11) 
    countdownCount = 10 
end 
  
function decrementCoundown() 
    countdownCount = countdownCount - 1 
    if countdown > 0 then 
        guiStaticImageLoadImage (countdownImage, "images/"..countdownCount..".png") 
    elseif countdown == 0 then 
        guiStaticImageLoadImage (countdownImage, "images/go.png") 
    else 
        destroyElement(countdownImage) 
    end 
end

John, he want visible for all player, not local.

PS: Did you saw my post or not?

Edited January 20, 2012 by Guest

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

So he should complete a basic serverside component to call startCountdown.

Also, yes I did, and it sucks.

hey, when u do /count it just say countdown started in chat but there is no countdown, thanks for trying anyway!!

what u have posted shows images...

if u just want something simple in the chat, then:

function countdown(player) 
    local name = getPlayerName(player) 
    outputChatBox(name .. ":- Countdown: 3",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
    setTimer(outputChatBox,1000,1,name .. ":- Countdown: 2",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
    setTimer(outputChatBox,2000,1,name .. ":- Countdown: 1",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
    setTimer(outputChatBox,3000,1,name .. ":- GO GO GO!!!!",getRootElement(),0,255,0) 
end 
addCommandHandler("count",countdown) 

if u want something more complex, say so... this is just a basic countdown from 3.

ive added the players name so u can see whos activating it.

also, this is serverside.

this one works perfectly, thanks man
