help with adding a timer to this script please

[RunsInTheLight]

Hi all i have 5 objects all reporting on a different channel to an object rezzer

each object is shootable, and can take a max number of hits before reporting its score to the rezzer that then speaks the reported text

what i would like to do is to add a timer for 20secs shooting time that reports the amount of hits during that time if the max number of hits hasnt been reached. 

integer maxNumberOfHits = 10;//the maximum number of hits during gameplay the Target can take until the game will end
//
integer x = 0;//this is a 'toggle' that switches between TRUE (1) and FALSE (0) and is used to tell other parts of the script that the game has started and a specific function was triggered
integer points = 0;//total amount of points earned during gameply
integer yellow = 0;//amount of bullseyes hit during gameplay
integer numberOfHits = 0;//total amount of times the target was hit during gameplay
///////////////////////////////
integer main;//this is the name (integer) that represents the link number for the yellow (Target)
say(string text)//just a cleaner looking way of calling 'llSay()'
{
llSay(0,text);
}
endGame()
{


llShout(-5870,"Your Score: "+"\n"+"yellow: "+(string)yellow+"\n"+"For a Total of "+(string)points+" Points");//say the scored points" Points");//say the scored points
llSleep(1.0);//sleep for just a second in case other scripted events need to catch
}
reset()//reset common values. This function is called within the script to reset common values back to default
{
points = 0;//reset the amount of points scored
yellow = 0;//reset how many bullseyes were hit during gameplay
numberOfHits = 0;//reset the amount of overall times the Target was hit during gameplay
}
default
{
on_rez(integer p){
llResetScript();
}
state_entry()
{
}
collision(integer num_detected)//detect information about which part of the Target was hit during gameplay and then update values
{
integer hit = llDetectedLinkNumber(0);//the linked object number that was hit in the link set is labelled 'hit'
if(hit == main)//if the link number that was hit matches the link number for the bullseye prim, then proceed..
{
yellow += 1;//add a point to the amount of yellowtarget hit during gameplay
points += 1;//add 10 points to the 'total points earned' during gameplay
}
numberOfHits += 1;//add a point to the amount of hits the Target has taken during gameplay
if(numberOfHits >= 10)//if the Target has taken 20 hits during gameplay, then proceed to do the function 'endGame()'
{
endGame();
llSleep(5);
llDie();
}
}
}

 

any help would be greatly appreciated

If I understood correctly what you wanted, this should be it

integer maxNumberOfHits = 10;//the maximum number of hits during gameplay the Target can take until the game will end//integer x = 0;//this is a 'toggle' that switches between TRUE (1) and FALSE (0) and is used to tell other parts of the script that the game has started and a specific function was triggeredinteger points = 0;//total amount of points earned during gameplyinteger yellow = 0;//amount of bullseyes hit during gameplayinteger numberOfHits = 0;//total amount of times the target was hit during gameplay///////////////////////////////integer main;//this is the name (integer) that represents the link number for the yellow (Target)say(string text)//just a cleaner looking way of calling 'llSay()'{	llSay(0,text);}endGame(){	llShout(-5870,"Your Score: "+"\n"+"yellow: "+(string)yellow+"\n"+"For a Total of "+(string)points+" Points");//say the scored points" Points");//say the scored points	llSleep(1.0);//sleep for just a second in case other scripted events need to catch}reset()//reset common values.

I'm guessing that this application doesn't want a fixed sequence of 20 second timer intervals (the hits could straddle the intervals), nor even a timer at all, but rather a list of hit times, pruned to those within the last 20 seconds when a hit occurs, where the list length indicates whether the max was reached.

thanks darkie tried the revised script and it works ok ....

what i was after it doing witht he timer tho was slightly different.....

game length was going to be 30 secs long . and the max number of hits the target could take would be 10..

if someone only managed say 5 hits in that time then 5 would be the total score reflected in the score shouted.

but cheers for the timer ill have a play with it )

 

llShout(-5870,"Your Score: "+"\n"+"yellow: "+(string)yellow+"\n"+"For a Total of "+(string)points+" Points");//say the scored points" Points");//say the scored points
