In game timer?

[Percy T]

I accidentally posted this topic in WADS and Mods, so I'm reposting this here. I'm in the process of making a map where doom speedrunners can practice their skills. I was wondering it was possible to have a on screen timer start and stop on certain linedefs so you can see how fast you were. I'm guessing I need to use the script engine to achieve this, because I already used it to label my portals. I'm using ZDoom in UDMF Format.

script "TIMER" (void)
{

	int t = 240;
   while(t > 0)
	{
      t--;

		SetFont ("BIGFONT");
      HudMessage(s:"YOU HAVE ",d:t/60, s:":", d:t%60, s:" UNTIL POWER DRAINED";
         HUDMSG_PLAIN|HUDMSG_NOTWITHFULLMAP|HUDMSG_NOTWITHOVERLAYMAP, 500, CR_RED, 0.95, 0.9, 2.0);
		delay(35);
	}


}

This worked for me. The " t=240; " is the amount of time. You can end the script with     ACS_NamedTerminate ("TIMER", 0);

Hope this helps :)

I copied this code into the script but these errors popped up.

script "timer" (void)
{
	int t = 240;    //240 = 4 minutes
   while(t > 0)
	{
      t--;

	SetHudSize(0,0,0);
		SetFont ("BIGFONT");
      HudMessage(s:"YOU HAVE ",d:t/60, s:":", d:t%60, s:" UNTIL POWER DRAINED";
         HUDMSG_PLAIN, 500, CR_RED, 0.95, 0.9, 2.0);
		delay(35);
	}
}
	

Sorry about that. I should have tested that first. Try this. I gave it a quick test and it worked.
