Roundtime gauge
|
I'm sorry for asking this, and I know it's been asked. In fact, I know I've found one that works well in a mud that uses the Gemstone wizard, but for the life of me I can't find it again.
Can someone please point me to a good roundtime gauge script? |

I should say, I tried using the one for Gemstone II for Cmud, but it doesn't seem to work. I can't enter a trigger q after Q, even when case-sensitive is checked, because the program tells me there is already a trigger q.

I'm not at my computer right now, but sometime in the next day or two, I can post my roundtime triggers for Modus Operandi.

This is the gauge that I use for counting down roundtime. You should be able to start a new button, then cut and paste the text below into the XML tab of the button.
| Code: |
<button name="Roundtime" type="Gauge" autosize="false" width="200" height="24" iconleft="false" color="maroon" textcolor="fuchsia" priority="993" id="84">
<caption>R.T.: @roundtime</caption>
<expr>@roundtime</expr>
<gaugemax>@roundmax</gaugemax>
<gaugelow>0</gaugelow>
</button>
|
This is the trigger that sets the variables for the gauge based on GSL(Q) and GSL(q). You should be able to create a new trigger, then paste this into the XML tab of the trigger.
| Code: |
<trigger type="GSL" priority="1158" case="true" id="54">
<pattern>Q</pattern>
<trigger type="GSL" case="true" newline="false" prompt="true">
<pattern>q</pattern>
<value>roundmax=%gsl(Q)-%gsl(q);roundtime=@roundmax;#T+ ClockTrigger</value>
</trigger>
</trigger>
|
This alarm trigger is what actually makes the gauge count down.
| Code: |
<trigger name="ClockTrigger" type="Alarm" priority="1153" newline="false" enabled="false" id="49">
<pattern>1</pattern>
<value>roundtime=(@roundtime-1);#if (@roundtime=0) {#T- ClockTrigger}</value>
</trigger>
|
This expression trigger makes sure the gauge "turns off" when 0 seconds remain.
| Code: |
<trigger type="Expression" priority="1152" newline="false" id="48">
<pattern>@roundtime<0</pattern>
<value>roundtime=0;#T- ClockTrigger</value>
</trigger>
|
This trigger "fixes" the roundtime when the word "Roundtime" is displayed. Sometimes, GSL(Q) and GSL(q) produce a @roundmax that is off by one second; this trigger adjusts for that.
| Code: |
<trigger priority="976" id="74">
<pattern>^Roundtime: %d{roundmax} sec</pattern>
</trigger>
|
This trigger adjusts the gauge if you try to do something before the roundtime is complete. The roundtime gauge is fairly accurate, but not perfectly so; this trigger resets the number of seconds remaining on the gauge when Modus says, "...wait XX seconds".
| Code: |
<trigger priority="973" id="67">
<pattern>^...wait &%d{roundtime} sec</pattern>
</trigger>
|
This trigger deals with "Investigations" in Modus. When one takes a fingerprint sample, for example, there is a roundtime, but Modus doesn't use the GSL(Q) and GSL(q) protocol for that situation. I don't know if GemStone has any similar roundtime situations, but here it is just in case.
| Code: |
<trigger name="InvestigationTime" priority="1154" id="50">
<pattern>It takes you &%d{InvestTime} seconds to complete your work.</pattern>
<value>roundmax=@InvestTime;roundtime=@roundmax;#T+ ClockTrigger</value>
</trigger>
|
You'll probably need to do a fair amount of tweaking to get these to work in Gemstone.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. |

Also, regarding the message, "You already have a trigger named "q": If you need to make another trigger that responds to the GSL(q) pattern, simply give the trigger a unique name in the "ID" field of the trigger at the bottom of the trigger creation screen.
