E2 timer function

[wel97459]

Ok the clk timer comand is all well and good if just want too see if a timer is being called.

Now what if you want to get, any timer that's being called and its name.

Well to my knowledge there's noway to do this right now, shot of testing for all the timer names that your going to use in your E2 code, and thats to mini if statements.

So this is the code that need to be add in the timer.lua file:

registerFunction("runner", "", "s", function(self, args)
  if runner == nil 
	then return "" else return runner end
end)

...so THAT'S why I can't make a CS:S C4 explosive with E2! Thanks!


But...wait...do you just slap it on the end of the file...or what?

Very useful, but I like how you suggested this 6 hours after I did
Make clk() return name of timer
And it's been suggested and coded a few times before:

registerFunction("clk", "s", "n", function(self, args)
	local op1 = args[2]
	local rv1 = op1[1](self, op1)
	if runner == rv1
	   then return 1 else return 0 end
end)

<<<<<<<<<<<goes right here in the file

no, the reason for that is that you're a noob

[highlight=E2]@name CrapStrike bomb
@inputs Active
@outputs Seconds

if (~Active) {
if (Active) {
Seconds = 30
interval(1000)
}
else {
Seconds = 0
stoptimer("interval")
}
}
if (clk()) {
Seconds--
if (Seconds) { interval(1000) }
}[/highlight]

You can even do that with gates, but that's a lot harder
