Gemstone III Roundtime Gauge [updated]
 
[Script updated for aesthetics. 2.11.03]
Personally, I think this one's more stable than the other RT calculators in this section. Probably just conflict of interest. Anyway:

#CLASS {Roundtime}
#VAR rt {0}
#VAR maxrt {3}
#VAR roundTime {1044808646}
#VAR worldtime {1044808643}
#TRIGGER "rtTrig" {Q} {#var roundTime {%gsl( Q)}} "" {gsl}
#COND "rtTrig" {q} {#var worldtime {%gsl(q)};#var rt {%eval(@roundtime-@worldtime)};#var maxrt {@rt}} {gsl}
#COND "rtTrig" {} {#add rt (-1);#if (@rt>0) {#state rtTrig (2)} {#state rtTrig (0)}} {wait|param=1000}
#BUTTON 21 {@rt} {} {} {} {@rt} {} {} {Size} {66} {13} {Pos} {0} {20} {32832} {} {Gauge||12|@maxrt||15} {} "" {Explore|Inset} {} {}
#BUTTON 34 {RT} {} {} {} {} {} {} {Size} {19} {13} {Pos} {0} {0} {} {} {Separ} {} "" {} {} {}
#CLASS 0

if you have an event that gives you rt while you still have rt it seems to not add to the current roundtime

This is due to 2 factors. First expansion is preformed on the caption of button 21 during creation. Replacement line:
#BUTTON 21 "@rt" {} {} {} {@rt} {} {} {Size} {66} {13} {Pos} {0} {20} {32832} {} {Gauge||12|@maxrt||15} {} "" {Explore|Inset} {} {}

EDIT:
Second the script has a subtle design flaw. Since only one state can be active at any time the second #COND need to be moved to an independent alarm. Thanks to kilthan for pointing this out.

#CLASS {Roundtime}
#VAR rt {0}
#VAR maxrt {3}
#VAR roundTime {1044808646}
#VAR worldtime {1044808643}
#TRIGGER "rtTrig" {Q} {#var roundTime {%gsl( Q)}} "" {gsl}
#COND "rtTrig" {q} {#var worldtime {%gsl(q)};#var rt {%eval(@roundtime-@worldtime)};#var maxrt {@rt};#T+ rtAlarm} {gsl}
#ALARM "rtAlarm" {-1} {#add rt (-1);#if (@rt<1) {#T- rtAlarm}} "" {disable}
#BUTTON 21 "@rt" {} {} {} {@rt} {} {} {Size} {66} {13} {Pos} {0} {20} {32832} {} {Gauge||12|@maxrt||15} {} "" {Explore|Inset} {} {}
#BUTTON 34 {RT} {} {} {} {} {} {} {Size} {19} {13} {Pos} {0} {0} {} {} {Separ} {} "" {} {} {}
#CLASS 0

{@rt} is fine it doesn't need to be "@rt". The problem is that when there is roundtime it stays in the second #COND, so it doesn't trigger on the Q tag while in roundtime. Make the countdown a separate trigger and it will work.

I'm an extreme newbie with zmud so what exactly do I do with this to get it to work?

There is a propblem with this in v6.65a:
The rtAlarm keeps going even when the class is disabled.
Also the rt gauge seems to reset itself in midstream for no reason, it will be counting down from 20 or so the meter dwindling along when suddenlt the meter refreshes to a new length of the current rt of 8 or so, makes it jumpy as it happens alot.

i seem to have fixed the problem, just needed to pretest the value i guess

#TRIGGER "rtTrig" {Q} {#VAR roundTime {%gsl( Q)}} "" {gsl}
#COND {q} {
#VAR worldtime {%gsl( q)}
#IF (%eval( @roundtime-@worldtime)>0) {
#VAR rt {%eval( @roundtime-@worldtime)}
#VAR maxrt {@rt}
#T+ rtAlarm
#TS (@rt+1)
}
} {gsl}
