how to display a counter to make a race?

[charlyblacksmoke]

I would like to display a counter on the screen of the player which is triggered at the start and finish of the course. I think it is possible because I have already seen a server doing this. (combatbox tested something like this if I remember correctly). on the other hand I do not know at all how. does anyone have some info or even a group that can help me do this?

Simple, just use a couple of timers in a chain, each of them linking to a subtitle MCU as well as the next timer. Like this:

Of course, instead of a Mission Start, you could also use for instance a CheckZone MCU at the finish.

thank you it's easy.

 

but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I would like the time that passes to appear on the screen and stop on arrival. but good idea for the start count.

Here's a test mission that displays a count from 1 to 100. You may be able to adapt it to display minutes and seconds (although I'm not sure how accurate the time would be due to possible delays in the logic).

The two yellow icons on the right in the mission are actually stacks of icons that display "0" to "9".
