Facility Control

Hi

I'm new to dashboard

Using panelbuilder I have built a scoreboard control for XPression

Increase / Decrease scores Set timer for start / stop Set normal start times

Everything works really well

What I'm hoping to add is a user defined start time

(If I join a game late .. or something happens ??)

Thanks

Joe

Hi Joe.

That's something you can do through ogScript using the timer's "setTime" function. The trick is that the time must be given in milliseconds.

So, for example, if I have timer called "gameTimer" that usually counts down from 1 hour and I want to set its time to 30 minutes, I could call:

ogscript.getTimerManager().getTimer('gameTimer').setTime(1800000); // 1800000 = 30 * 60 * 1000 (minutes * seconds * milliseconds)

If you already have controls to start/stop the timer, I assume you know how to add pieces of ogscript to button tasks. If not, let me know and I'll post a more complete example.

Thanks for the quick response

What I need to do is have an input box on the control that the operator types the start time

say 27:31 (mm:ss) this is the tricky bit (not sure what the script would look like)

TimerAction:Count Up : Set Time (Value = Cus_Time)

Count Up is my timer

Cus_Time is an interger parameter ................

I then have a set button and a separate start button

No problem. Here is a pretty stripped-down example that has a timer (sticking with my "gameTimer" example), and 2 parameters involved with setting the current time (one for minutes and one for seconds). You can copy and paste the example into a new Custom Panel *.grid file and it should run for you.

params.setValue('p.display', 0, event.getDisplay());

The important part is the script in the "Set" button that pulls the values out of the 2 parameters and sets the timer's value:

var minutes = params.getValue('p.minutes', 0);

            var seconds = params.getValue('p.seconds', 0);

            ogscript.getTimerManager().getTimer('gameTimer').setTime((minutes * 60 + seconds) * 1000);

No - it does not run - I get

Waiting to locate:

null

Any ideas

Sounds like you're running DashBoard 6.0 - the sample I posted is designed for 6.1 (the current release).

Please try again with 6.1.

#DashBoard

You are correct ..... Works perfectly with 6.1

Does exactly what I need ..

Now all I have to do is made sense of It !!!!

Thanks again
