How do you make a timer

Help
1

I’m putting a jail in my map and I don’t know how to make a timer so then the players can get out of jail. I looked for guides but all of the photos are deleted and the guides were kind of outdated. So how do I make a timer?

You can make a trigger loop and counter system connected to a barrier that deactivates when the time is up:

Trigger - Trigger on X Channel when triggered, trigger when receive on X Channel, the delay will be 1.0, now you’ve made a timer, make it player-scoped.

Counter - Default value 60 (you can alter it, depends on the amount of time you want the players to stay inside the jail), target value 0, player-scoped.

I don’t know what way do you want the trigger to be triggered (when is the trigger loop timer is going to start) so I will use a zone in this case.

Place down a zone, set it the size of the jail room.

Don’t forget to place down a barrier too, set it to player-scoped (this will be the door of the jail)

Wires/channels:

Zone (triggered) → Trigger (trigger)
Trigger (triggered) → Counter (decrement value)
Counter (value reached) → Barrier (deactivate barrier)

also should I be concerned :skull:

A timer… whew… well this one is tricky[1]

yapping

with all the good timer guides ruined without pictures, this will be a little difficult. However, I made a timer a long time ago in one of my old maps, and recently reused the system in one of my upcoming maps. The timer I used was from ClicClac’s old guide (I THINK, or some other guide), and I still have the blockcode.

PS: NVM, it was this one

I think yoyo’s way works better…

Anyway, this is for if you want a colon separated timer, like one that can count down from 2 minutes or something.
Please, tell me if you want me to explain how to do it (but you really don’t have to), but for now, here are some pictures of the timer thingy:

And there are a bunch of other devices in this but… I won’t keep yapping explaining unless you need it.

matter of fact, just use what yoyo said lol
