Timers, is it possible?

Would it be possible to have an egg timer type of script/ device that the DM could start and stop? (counting down or up) I am specifically looking to speed up combat decisions, and I think a visual reminder to the players (even with no specific limit imposed) would foster a sense of urgency.

Excellent idea.

Sure, that's no problem. Something along these lines ought to work: on('chat:message', function(msg) { if (msg.type == 'api' && msg.content.indexOf('!timer') == 0) { var parts = msg.content.split(' '); if (parts.length &gt; 1) { var start = parseInt(parts[1]); var timer = setInterval(function() { start--; if (start == 0) { sendChat('TIMER', 'Beeeep!'); clearInterval(timer); } else if (start % 5 == 0) { sendChat('TIMER', start + ' seconds remaining!'); } }, 1000); } } }); This one's pretty simple, simply posting messages to the chat window every five seconds. You could get fancy by using an image on the board of a clock or something, or setting it up to sensibly handle multiple timers at once.

That was the first script I worked on looks like 9 months ago. I'd have to go through it and clean it up and modernize it a bit. I'll maybe work on it this week if I can find some time. Probably much better ways to do it now. It was a timer, stop watch, etc. Visual clues, etc.
