Timer issue

[Rugarus]

My timer doesn't seem to run, what am I doing wrong here?
//Zinc

private function OnTimy60() {
  timer t=GetExpiredTimer();
  DisplayTextToForce(GetPlayersAll(), "Current test");
}

function onStarty() {
timer t=CreateTimer();
TimerStart(t, 15, true, function OnTimy60);

        t=null;
}

private function onInit() {
  trigger trg = CreateTrigger();
  TriggerAddAction(trg, function onStarty);
}

You gave trg an action but no event so it's never run. The function that starts the timer is the action for trg so the timer is never started.

I thought that if you create a trigger and give it an action with no event it runs on map initialization?
How do I get this to run right from the start? Thanks.

No, it does not work like that. The entire onInit function runs on map init and can have anything you want in it. Just put the timerstart in there.

private function OnTimy60() {
  timer t=GetExpiredTimer();
  DisplayTextToForce(GetPlayersAll(), "Current test");
}

private function onInit() {
  TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 15, true, function OnTimy60);
}
