This seems to be messed up. I get a starting value of around 4000000 upon starting a Test Mode level.

I am remembering that Lee mentioned something about this in one of the last 8 or so twitch broadcasts.

I will have to search thru them. But try the script board. Mushroom fixed his, and smallg I am sure has it solved already.
You might just need to use the StartTimer(e) in a different spot to get it to reset, before you poll for your timer value to perform whatever action you want.

Script Guru's correct me please if I am of the wall here.

Thanks, Myke. I'll look into that.

I looked at SmallG's threat. I tried g_timer but that seems messed up too.

Looking thru the global.lua file I dont see a g_timer statement Just a global variable that reads the milliseconds the game has been started. What your looked at might have been a defined variable.

I am thinking that in the start of the main function of your script you could check the value of the GetTimer(e) and then if it is above zero, (a set of conditions to allow the script to continue) issue a StartTimer(e) statement again to reset it at that point to zero.

Then move on thru the script and see if you can get the timer display to read zero.

I will try a few of the scripts around for timer stuff and see what I can find. Maybe there is still a bug in it.
In this thread here:
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/215060
Smallg shows possible ways to use this. reading the g_timer variable, setting a local in your script to reference that and reset your variable to zero there. This might need to be the very first thing done in the script. Last post, he made some global functions as an approach to this.

Go to this thread and test the snippets and see if you can make any headway with that. Maybe a few questions there will bring some of the coders around to giving more suggestions or a solution to your situation.

As mike said, you just need to call a variable once at the start of the main(e) loop like this

if game_timer_started == nil then
StartTimer(e)
game_timer_started = 1
end

Thanks, smallG!

Cool. I am going to move this to the script board, as this is a scripting issue and can get more attention there.

Thanks.
