Hi to all

Does anyone know how can a countdown until New Years eve be made? Like 7 days, 14 hours, 3 minutes, 5 seconds..?

Thanks and happy holidays to all!

That would be great, if only I knew how...

Fil... this post really belongs in the Tech questions forum and not here...
best to try and keep posts organized so that your question will be properly answered...

as for the question... take a look at the scripting reference (load a script object in the project, open it, click on help, click on scripting reference) guide for iSystemTime()...

you should be able to get what you want by setting  the target date and time in a variable... and currently subtracting the current date and time from that...

good luck...

Mike - active and alive again, I see!

As for the post in the wrong place - sorry if possible move this to the Tech forum.

About the question - the first thing I thought of was normally the iSystemTime() function, but as said it returns current time. That's fine for the current time, but can I somehow initialize it so that I say

iSystemTime(3) is set to  31.
iSystemTime(4) is set to 00:00

and so on...

Thanks.

Here's a simple example of a new year countdown timer

Code: [Select]
int PRINT = OBJ_0;
string S;

string zero(int num){
   string N;
   N = num;
   if(iStringLen(N) < 2) N = "0"+N;
   return(N);
}

void Main()
{
   //Get date and time info
   int day =  iSystemTime(3);
   int hour = iSystemTime(4);
   int minute = iSystemTime(5);
   int second = iSystemTime(6);

   float days = 31-day; 
   float hours = 24-hour-1;
   float minutes = 60-minute-1;
   float seconds = 60-second;

   iPrint(S="Local Time  "+zero(hour)+":"+zero(minute)+":"+zero(second),-6,6,PRINT);
   iPrint("DAYS"  , 1,4,   PRINT);
   iPrint("HOURS" , 1,2.5, PRINT);
   iPrint("MINUTES",1,1,   PRINT);
   iPrint("SECONDS",1,-0.5,PRINT);
   iPrint(S=zero(days),   -1,4,   PRINT);
   iPrint(S=zero(hours),  -1,2.5, PRINT);
   iPrint(S=zero(minutes),-1,1,   PRINT);
   iPrint(S=zero(seconds),-1,-0.5,PRINT);

}

}
is very good
