Timer inside a timer

[AoiUsui]

We have a problem about timer, we used the sample codes found on the tutorial. After the countdown finishes, we need to time the blinking text (caption) for a minute then the countdown starts again from the start. It is actually a repetitive process. How can we made it like that?

We are beginners in Ren'Py.

Please, help us! Thanks in advance!

Probably the easiest way is to use the module operator on st:

Code: Select all

st = st % 60

Where can we insert that code? And does it make it repetitive?

init:
python:

# This function will run a countdown of the given length. It will
# be white until 5 seconds are left, and then red until 0 seconds are
# left, and then will blink 0.0 when time is up.
def countdown(st, at, length=0.0):

remaining = length - st


if remaining > 5.0:
return Text("%.1f" % remaining, color="#fff", size=25), .1
elif remaining > 0.0:
return Text("%.1f" % remaining, color="#f00", size=25), .1
else:
return anim.Blink(Text("Reminder: You are playing for more than 2 hours.", size=40 , color="#FF9900")), None

image countdown = DynamicDisplayable(countdown, length=5.0)

Thank you!

Have fun.

Code: Select all

init:
    python:
        def countdown(st, at, length=0.0):
            copied_st = st % (length + 60) # Had to copy "st", because "st" is NoneType and can't be operated with directly.
            remaining = length - copied_st
    
            while remaining >= 0:
                return Text("%.1f" % remaining, color="#fff", size=25), .1
            while remaining >= -60:
                return anim.Blink(Text("0.0", color="#f00", size=64)), None

    # Show a countdown for 10 seconds.
    image countdown = DynamicDisplayable(countdown, length=15)

I will try this! Thank you very much!

It solved our problem! Thank you very much!

Its been a while since I first post this. But there is a version 2 of the game we are previously working at.

With this codes, how can we make the player to choose countdown time? For example: 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours.

I hope that you can help me again.

Thanks.

Have you seen this thread - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7337&hilit=countdown?

[AoiUsui]

Thank you for the reply and for the link. I'm trying to incorporate it first in an experiment and I'm having an issue. I attach here the screenshot.

I hope that you can still help me in this. Thanks again.

You have "def countdown()" and "image countdown". I would try to avoid duplication name.

Also on line 9, instead of

Code: Select all

python:

Try:

Code: Select all

init python:

It seems that it solved the problem, but I still encountered an issue. It has no error messages but it doesn't work.

I'm sorry, I'm not a much into programming. But please help me. Thanks also.

Code: Select all

label start:

    e "Please choose countdown."
    menu:
        "10 Seconds":
            jump sec10
        "30 Seconds":
            jump sec30
        "60 Seconds":
            jump sec60
    
    label sec10:
        init python:
   
        # This function will run a countdown of the given length. It will
        # be white until 5 seconds are left, and then red until 0 seconds are
        # left, and then will blink 0.0 when time is up.
            def countdown(st, at):

                length = 10.0

                if hasattr(store, 'bulles_temps'):
                    length = store.bulles_temps

                remaining = length - st
   
                if remaining > 5.0:
                    return Text("%.1f" % remaining, color="#fff", size=64), .1
                elif remaining > 0.0:
                    return Text("%.1f" % remaining, color="#f00", size=64), .1
                else:
            #return anim.Blink(Text("0.0", color="#f00", size=64)), None
                    renpy.jump('end')

    # Show a countdown for 10 seconds.
    #image countdown = DynamicDisplayable(countdown)

    e"You selected 10 seconds, please wait for 10 seconds."
