Overlay Timer

[escort]

Anyone ever make a time down for a overlay? Basicly if somone brings up a overlay it will wait 10 seconds then go away so it is not there when the next person comes up to xlobby.

Just create an event with the following commands:
show overlay (your overlay)
wait (10000ms for 10 seconds)
close overlay

Just tried it and it works.

Hope this helps

I did it the more complex way - via timers in VB.NET, that is, XScriptNG. Works Ok.

something like this: (it's even more complex or me because I'm checkin xlobby variables etc, so I stripped it off)

Code: Select all

Module Script

Private tx As XTimer = new XTimer(45000)

Public Sub Main()
      tx.StartTimer
End Sub

End Module

Class XTimer

   ' *** The system timer
   Private tx As System.Timers.Timer

   ' *** The class constructor
   Public Sub New(pElapsed As Integer)

      '  *** Initialize the timer
      tx = new System.Timers.Timer(pElapsed)

      ' *** Add the event handler
      AddHandler tx.Elapsed, AddressOf TimerFired
   End Sub

   ' *** Starts the timer
   Public Sub StartTimer()
      tx.Enabled = true
   End Sub

   ' *** Stops the timer
   Public Sub StopTimer()
      tx.Enabled = false
   End Sub

   ' **** Executes when the elapsed event occurs
   Public Sub TimerFired(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)
      StopTimer()
'      Xlobby.SendCommand("xlobby", "close overlay")
      Xlobby.SendCommand("plugin", "command", "xTransition", "Close Overlay:", "fade")
   End Sub
End Class

hey,

i use this thread because
i cant realise this event !!!

i use the version of the 04 mars 2007

Just create an event with the following commands:
show overlay (your overlay)
wait (10000ms for 10 seconds)
close overlay

Just tried it and it works.

Hope this helps

i test the separate command and it is ok for each command
but when i try to test the complete event
i doesnt work

is there kown bug with this version and the timer...

i have "repair" my .net2...
always the same result

any idea's...

Nope no need to panic. It doesn't work with testing the event. I think this is a bug, which will unfortunately never be fixed (well, at least not in this version). It does work though when you place a button on a screen then tie the button to the this event.
