Ingame Timers

Post by Fierfek »

Is it possible to create an ingame timer that triggers an event when it reaches zero? I want to have a level where after a certain amount of time (5-10 minutes), your reinforcement count is boosted. How do I do this?

Yes. There are a number of examples in the stock lua scripts. You can also look through this script and find some examples:

Thats what all timers do. The 'Scripting Doc' is the main documentation on timers.

Changing reinforcement counts is done with SetReinforcementCount() or AddReinforcementCount()

How would I add a command post when the timer reaches zero? Like, the player has to survive until the timer reaches zero, then a local cp spawns, spawning units friendly to that team and hostile to the other team. How do I do this?

EDIT:
Does this look correct in my lua to start a timer, and add a command post when the timer finishes, which spawns republic-friendly locals?
