[Script Question] Adding Time to Hourglass

[ GitHub ] Anyone familiar with how this script works enough to know if a function could be added in which the timer can be increased while it's counting down? Use example: I set Hourglass for 10:00, starting the countdown. Encounter allows the time remaining to increase by 2 minutes whenever the party finishes certain tasks. New command is entered, asks how much time I would like to add. I enter 02:00, and the time increases without interruption. Could this function be easily added to the script (if it would even work)?

Definitely doable. I'll try to add that tonight. 

Thank you! I tried manually increasing the minute bar value by +2 while it's counting down, but it would revert to what it was before. So I wasn't certain it was possible.

Here ya go!&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://gist.github.com/shdwjk/1e4deb1b9096dd4d4fd038db24e63b37" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/shdwjk/1e4deb1b9096dd4d4fd038db24e63b37</a> !hg add 1:23 !hg sub 1:20:23 Same syntax as the start command.&nbsp; I added both "add" and "sub" (or "subtract"). Cheers!

Fantastic! Testing it out now, I am noticing that if I start the timer, add time, then subtract time, it ends at 1 second remaining. Other than that, though, it's functioning perfectly :)

yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, I might need to change the way they count time. I'll give it another test later tonight.

I made a quick update to&nbsp; <a href="https://gist.github.com/shdwjk/1e4deb1b9096dd4d4fd038db24e63b37" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/shdwjk/1e4deb1b9096dd4d4fd038db24e63b37</a> I neglected to update the cut off timer they're using, so it was not finishing when it was supposed to.&nbsp; I'll see if I can clean that script up a bit more at some point.&nbsp; It is actually fairly inaccurate because it ticks off seconds using a 1 second interval.&nbsp; However, intervals are not not precise, which means it could end up taking 80 seconds to count 60 intervals.&nbsp; What it SHOULD do is mark the expected end time, and then wake up on some interval to adjust the display based on the elapsed time, likely a higher resolution interval, like every 250ms.&nbsp; You can see that they ran into this problem and tried to fix it by having a cutoff timeout that only suffers from one instance of the counting delta.

Oh, I see what you mean! I did test your update against a normal timer, and it seems synchronized enough currently. It still seems to end at 1 second remaining if I add or subtract any amount of time. If I start it without making adjustments, it continues all the way to 0. I am including some minor changes to the script myself, but it seems to be doing this without the changes, too. (just using // to omit lines 65 and 126, and adding a function you'd recommended to someone else here )

Cool.&nbsp; I might just write a brand new timer system, so any thoughts you have on what it should do would be cool. =D

Okay! I was thinking the other day that maybe a function where the time remaining is posted to chat or whispered to certain players at custom intervals (I'm thinking fractions or specific time increments/values) would come in handy?
