Combat Timer - Extension (v.0.0.1)

[celestian]

I'm in a coding mood. I'm making a few small tweaks and adding an option to control the audible ping. Expect a 1.0.2 release sometime shortly.

If you're looking for the bit I mentioned this is what I tweaked (bolded).

				<anchor_title_ctbox name="contentanchor" />
				<subwindow name="combat_timer">
					<script>
						function onInit()
							if User.getRulesetName() == "5E" then
								window.combat_timer.setAnchor("left", "contentanchor", "left","absolute",170);
							end
							Debug.console(window.getDatabaseNode());						
						end
					
						function onDoubleClick(x,y)
							CombatTimer.resetTimer();
						end
					</script>
					<anchored width="100" height="25">

This code snippet should have changed the anchor position for the 5E ruleset. I'm not sure why it didn't for you. Can you test the 1.0.2 that I just uploaded and let me know if you still have the problem?

    function onInit()
        if User.getRulesetName() == "5E" then
            window.combat_timer.setAnchor("left", "contentanchor", "left","absolute",170);
        end
    end

    end

I actually did not tell the entire truth, it was with my ruleset actually. Based on 5e but called something different (AD&D Core). My apologies. If you want to add a "or" in there...this will work (tested it myself).

 if User.getRulesetName() == "5E" or User.getRulesetName() == "AD&D Core" then

I don't expect you to do that however but if you did I'd be grateful.

[mortgarra]

Done.

[celestian]

Done.

Gentleman and a scholar. Thanks good sir.

Hey mortgarra, I was curious how you implemented your timer using client server pings (Genius hacky way to get around the no timer issue, hope FG makes a timer in FGU) and then I saw this nugget up top.

-- -- Are you f*****g kidding me, Lua?
function tablesize(t)

I think I died.

Anyway, cheers!

While we are talking about wishes for FGU, I'd sure like to see the ability to do a modal dialog using FG instead of the windows ugly dialog (such a harsh intrusion into a delightful interface).

During our last game session, my players complained about the bell ringing when the timer countdown reached 0. Because it rang on everyone's client, they all thought it was their turn. So, I modified your extension to only ring the bell on the player's client whose turn it is. Here is that code:

				local nodeEntry = CombatManager.getActiveCT();
				local sClass, sRecord = DB.getValue(nodeEntry, "link", "", "");
				local nodePC = DB.findNode(sRecord);
				if nodePC then
					local sOwner = nodePC.getOwner();
					if sOwner then
						User.ringBell(sOwner);
					end
				end

Was wondering if this could be used to count down a certain number of rounds? I have an event that happens after 30 rounds, and I’m trying to find a way to track that. Also, can you run more than one timer at a time?

That's what the duration on effects is used for...
