The map that I'm working on relies a lot on timers, so I'm going to ask three questions about them. Answers to any would be greatly appreciated. How do I pause a timer? How do I extract the current value (how many seconds) of a timer? How do I make it so that more time goes down on them more or less than one second per second? Thanks in advance!

How do I pause a timer?

probably with a variable and an if statement. If the variable is true (or a certain value) then the code in the if statement gets processed.

How do I extract the current value (how many seconds) of a timer?

Again, you could just declare variables certain values like:

var1 = 1;
var2 = 2;
wait(var1);
wait(var2);

How do I make it so that more time goes down on them more or less than one second per second?

You would need to do some math then. The UGX wiki's script guide might help with this, but basically:

var = 5;
new_var = var + 10;

Obviously if you want to do multiplication or division you gotta change the signs but thats really all it is. I don't think theres an engine clock so your going to have to really think.

There is an engine clock, which can be accessed by

 setTimer(time);

or

SetClock( time, full time, material, height, width);

I'm just wondering whether there are functions that can alter the timers created by these functions.

(Edited to add the code correctly).

I think that timer / clock functionality is pretty basic and you can't really stop / pause it. You can make the clock faster by setting the full time to less than 60 seconds and vice versa.

Thanks  ! One more thing, is there a way to return the value of the time that the timer/clock is at?

I don't think the engine has any function for that. You'll have to keep track of that with your own code.

Okay, thanks so much for your help!
