Do you want it to count down? I don't know how to make one that counts up.

Do you want it to count down? I don't know how to make one that counts up.

i want to start at: 00:00:00
and i want to end at: 02:00:00

I suppose you could actually do this with a multiboard lol. You could just do the time manually - storing seconds, minutes, and hours into variables and increment them / display them with a trigger.

Do you want to show the current gametime on the screen or do you simply want to be able to know what game time it is?

This is how I keep track of my current game time.
I don't feel like explaining this, I think you can figure out this by yourself.

• Game Time
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • S0 Equal to 9
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • S1 Equal to 5
            • S0 Equal to 9
          • Then - Actions
            • Set S0 = 0
            • Set S1 = 0
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • M0 Equal to 9
              • Then - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • M1 Equal to 5
                    • M0 Equal to 9
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Set M0 = 0
                    • Set M1 = 0
                    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                      • If - Conditions
                        • H0 Equal to 9
                      • Then - Actions
                        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                          • If - Conditions
                            • H1 Equal to 5
                            • H0 Equal to 9
                          • Then - Actions
                            • Set H0 = 0
                            • Set H1 = 0
                          • Else - Actions
                            • Set H1 = (H1 + 1)
                        • Set H0 = 0
                      • Else - Actions
                        • Set H0 = (H0 + 1)
                  • Else - Actions
                    • Set M1 = (M1 + 1)
                • Set M0 = 0
              • Else - Actions
                • Set M0 = (M0 + 1)
          • Else - Actions
            • Set S1 = (S1 + 1)
        • Set S0 = 0
      • Else - Actions
        • Set S0 = (S0 + 1)

i want to know what game time it is

 

[AtivEnergy]

what type is variables S0 , M0 , H0?
And how to show this in map? (time window)
i'm noob.. sorry
i can only take from another map :/
is hard for a beginner

He just made it multiboard friendly, not user friendly necesary

I can make it simpler example for you. You really only need 3 integer variables for seconds, minutes and hours.

Add timer to multiboard

Add this into init trigger

This is an example

• Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and ((Number of players in Players) + 4) rows, titled |c000000c3Empire Stats|r
• Set MultiBoardTimerPos = ((Number of players in Players) + 4)
• // MultiBoardTimerPos is an example how to put timer at a certain place at multiboard, its a number value
• Set multiboard1 = (Last created multiboard)

Main trigger

• GameTime1hour
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set GameTimeElapsedSec = (GameTimeElapsedSec + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • GameTimeElapsedSec Greater than 59
      • Then - Actions
        • Set GameTimeElapsedSec = (GameTimeElapsedSec - 60)
        • Set GameTimeElapsedMin = (GameTimeElapsedMin + 1)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • GameTimeElapsedMin Greater than 59
      • Then - Actions
        • Set GameTimeElapsedMin = (GameTimeElapsedMin - 60)
        • Set GameTimeElapsedHour = (GameTimeElapsedHour + 1)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • GameTimeElapsedSec Less than 10
        • GameTimeElapsedMin Less than 10
      • Then - Actions
        • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :0) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (:0 + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • GameTimeElapsedSec Less than 10
          • Then - Actions
            • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (:0 + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • GameTimeElapsedMin Less than 10
              • Then - Actions
                • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :0) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (: + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))
              • Else - Actions
                • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (: + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))

Just create a timer that expires in 7200 seconds.
You can use Get Elapsed Time of that timer to get the accurate gametime in seconds.
With that, you can convert it into hh:mm:ss format if you want.
