In this recipe, we will look at one possible way to create a countdown timer from 60 to 0 seconds that the player will see on-screen.
- Begin by placing an AreaTrigger entity onto the map to use as the container for the Flow Graph.
- In the RollupBar, click on the Entities button.
- Under the Triggers section, select the AreaTrigger.
- Right-click the newly placed AreaTrigger and create a new Flow Graph. Name the Flow Graph as
CountDownTimer. - With the Flow Graph open and the new AreaTrigger selected, add in the following nodes:
- Game:LocalPlayer
- HUD:DisplayDebugMessage
- Misc:Start
- Math:SetNumber
- Math:Sub
- Time:Timer
- Math:Counter
- Math:Equal
- Set Time:Timer period=1.
- Set Math:SetNumber in=60.
- Set Math:Equal B=60.
- Link the Flow Graph together as follows:
- Game:LocalPlayer entityId out to HUD:DisplayDebugMessage Choose Entity in
- Misc:Start output out to Math:SetNumber set in
- Math:SetNumber out out to Math:Sub A in
- Time:Timer out out to Math:Counter in in
- Math:Counter count out to Math:Sub B in
- Math:Counter count out to Math:Equal A in
- Math:Equal true out to Time:Timer paused in
- Math:Sub out out to HUD:DisplayDebugMessage Show AND message in
- The resulting Flow Graph should look like the following:
