[Trigger] Displaying remaining time for timer on multiboard.

[SupremeGrandRuler]

I'm trying to display the time remaining for a timer on a multiboard.
I'd like the time to be sorted by minutes and seconds.

For example:

05:03
00:30

For some reason it's not working and it's not updating and I'm tired

There is no event. . .?

I've never seen anyone forget an event heh, it looks like it should work if you add an event to the first trigger =/

Oh my bad the trigger is ran through another trigger via the action "Run Trigger (Ignoring Conditions)".

The multiboard is displaying, the problem is the time is displaying incorrectly.

This is probably how I would do anything involving calculating time in a game.

• Untitled Trigger 001

    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time

    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Seconds Not equal to 60
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Seconds = (Seconds + 1)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Seconds Equal to 60
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Minutes = (Minutes + 1)

                • Set Minutes = 0
              • Else - Actions

HMm... not as accurate as using the timer and not as efficient but works well. Don't know why the other one didn't work since it's the same trigger I use in another map (except other map uses elapses time and not remaining time).

Will be using a modified version of this for the time being. Thanks.

Fixed it. In the original triggers, the one that runs periodically, I set it to update the wrong row.
