Uther party timer

[TuncTunc]

Hello!
Not sure if this is the correct forum for question. If not, move thread to wherever it belongs.
In Uther party map there is game mode Thirst for gamma which has accelerated timer(goes faster with time). Does anybody know if timer like that exists outside of that map? Or may be how to create it?
Would appreciate help.
Thanks in advance!

I'mn not sure what you mean, though I have played the map. Maybe you aretalking abount countdown timer window. Can you post a screenshot?

That's a floating text

Ok, I'll clarify. I need a timer, which starts from 1 and goes to 100. Timer also accelerates all the time, which means it goes from 50 to 60 much faster than it goes from 10 to 20 etc. and can be stopped at any point showing the number it was stopped at.

Did you at least try anything or do you want us to do all the work for you ?

If I knew what to try, I wouldn't have created a thread. Unfortunately I don't know what to try. I don't need you to do all the work for me, in fact I don't need anyone to do any work, except telling me how to do it or at least what to use to do it.

use a periodic timer that changes the visibility of the floating text. Make sure to make it MUI. If you don't know how to make it MUI then take a look at my tutorial. The chapter on how to index.

I've never played Uther Party, so I'm just guessing based on your screenshot and explanation.

1. Start a timer with a given timeout, for instance 0.0.3125
2. on each timer loop you add a summand to a real variable x which is 0 in beginning
3. When x hits the border you display your texttag
4. Now you increase you summand, your function has to be of exponential growth characteristic for dynamic increasment.
5. set x to 0 and do the same as mentioned above until you hit the border again, it will be reached faster now
6. etc ...

Exponetial decay would be a solution aswell.

Edit: Afterall you could also use linear groth ... For instance 32 loops --> 30 loops --> 28 loops until you display your textag
