CountdownEventGate

by Crusha K. Rool

Object >> Actor >> Triggers >> EventGate >> CountdownEventGate (custom)

Package:

UltimateMappingTools

Waits a certain time before triggering the next Event. The condition mustn't be untriggered in that time, or the countdown stops. There is a ToleranceTime in which the event can be triggered again to continue the current countdown.

Properties

Property group 'CountdownEventGate'

bBroadcastCountdown

Type: bool

Countdown will be broadcasted to the HUD.

Default value: True

bLoopCountdown

Type: bool

Triggers the Event all CountdownTime seconds until this gets untriggered.

BlueTeamMessages

Type: TeamMessage

Specific countdown messages for the blue team.

bNoUntrigger

Type: bool

This will only trigger an event but never untrigger it.

bSubtileCounting

Type: bool

If True, the timer will only appear in certain intervals. Otherwise it's always visible when the countdown is active.

bSwitchMessageTeamsAfterReset

Type: bool

Use all RedTeamMessages on the blue team in swapped rounds and the other way around.

Default value: True

CountdownPosX

Type: float

The relative location of the countdown in the HUD.

CountdownPosY

Type: float

Only the countdown - not the messages.

CountdownString

Type: string

Modifiers: localized

Displayed with the countdown. %c in the string will be replaced with a numerical representation of the countdown.

CountdownTime

Type: float

Wait for the CountdownTime before triggering the Event.

The Event will not get triggered if a part of the condition becomes False during the countdown. 0 disables this, but makes no sense.

Default value: 60.0

MessageType

Type: EMT_MessageType

The place and font for all messages to use.

Default value: EMT_CriticalEvent

RedTeamMessages

Type: TeamMessage

Specific countdown messages for the red team.

ScoreFontSize

Type: int

This int size controls how big the font is at different resolutions. -2 is normally quite good.

ToleranceTime

Type: float

If the whole condition gets False after being true, then you have this much time to get it True again to keep your CountdownTime progress. Otherwise you start over again. 0 disables this.

Property group 'Events'

CountdownStoppedEvent

Type: name

This will be triggered when the condition gets untriggered. You can use it to do something when the ToleranceTime starts.

ToleranceStoppedEvent

Type: name

This will be triggered when the condition gets triggered while the gate is in ToleranceTime.

Internal variables

Type: bool

Whether this actor was just in Tolerance, so write the ToleranceAbort-Msg.
