Description
Syntax
- Syntax:
- [timeInSeconds,global] call BIS_fnc_countdown
- Parameters:
- timeInSeconds - Can be:
Number:
- Any number to set the length of the countdown in seconds
- -1 to set the countdown to nil
- 0 to return the left-over time
- true to find out if countdown is active and if there is left-over time
- global - Boolean: True to set it globally (Optional) Default: true
- Return Value:
- Number:
- If set locally: time + timeInSeconds (Example 1)
- If set globally serverTime + timeInSeconds (Example 2)
- Returns -1 if countdown is set to nil (Example 3)
- Return left-over time (Example 4)
Returns true when countdown is > 0 else false (Example 5) - If set locally: time + timeInSeconds (Example 1)
Examples
- Example 1:
_initialCountDown = [50,false] call BIS_fnc_countDown;// Sets countdown to 50 seconds where function is executed
- Example 2:
_initialCountDown = [50] call BIS_fnc_countDown;// Sets countdown to 50 seconds globally
- Example 3:
[-1] call BIS_fnc_countdown; // Sets bis_fnc_countdown_time to nil
- Example 4:
_timeLeft = [0] call BIS_fnc_countdown; // Returns the left over-time
- Example 5:
_isTimeLeft = [true] call BIS_fnc_countdown; // Returns true if countdown is greater 0
