Portal's HUD Timer

Almos · 05-01-2012, 04:01 PM

Hi everyone !

I want to introduce in the HUD of my mod, a timer like Time Challenge Mod in Portal 1. But not for challenges and bonus maps, just to see how many time the player stays in a map. Can you help me ? Wich files I have to copy/modify ? Thank's for your futur answers.

Regular Portal 1 maps or Portal 2 maps? If you want a Portal 2 time, best go to the Portal 2 forum and ask.

Its been a long time and I am trying to recall if there was a way to activate the timer on a regular map. Vaguely it seemed like it was easy to activate the timer with a simple command, but required a special exit elevator to stop the timer and display the results. And, there was no way to span the timer from one map to another... I am really rusty, so not 100% sure about it.

Regular Portal maps, in the first Portal. Exactly, I already analysed challenge maps. But nothing special. Or maybe there is a hidden client_command. Because a command could be very interesting and easy to use. And don't care, the timer will be reseted on each map change.
