Simple countdown timer

[sl23]

Good to know the update is 1000 in Mirage's Timer.

Of course, if I share any skins from now on, I will credit everyone here, as mostly everyone here has helped in some way with most of my works.

I was just looking at Mirage again and thought about the MouseScrollActions too just before reading your reply above!
Sure, feel free to use the idea. Glad it helped spur you on.

May I request you add the ability to pause and resume the Mirage Countdown though. That was the only reason I didn't start with that skin.
Then I may tackle this again but start with the Mirage Timer, if that's ok with you?

Thank you to everyone who helped out here
Until the next time...

Well, that didn't take long!

It seems there's one issue remaining, hopefully just the one!

This is the reason I changed from the original Action# Strings to the Button# Shapes.
Basically, a refresh makes #CloseApps# work fine. If I click any other Button#, again it works fine and Hibernates, Shutdown or Locks the PC, but click on Button1 to set the Variable back to #CloseApps# and it doesn't change. What this means is that whatever was clicked last, say, Button4 #Lock#, remains as the Variable when clicking Button1. Even though Button1 is clearly stated as #CloseApps#. WTF?

Here's the latest code:

EDIT:
Maybe it's to do with this?

Code: Select all

[Button1]
LeftMouseUpAction=.... [!EnableMeasure mTimer3Act][!EnableMeasure mTimer4Alarm] 

Where these two Measures are doing similar things?
EDIT2:
Doesn't seem to be that, or removing #CloseApps# from the Variable: [Button1][!SetVariable Act ""]

[Yincognito]

Does that require a fast Update rate too? Maybe I should've used that as my starting point?

...the ability to pause and resume...

This doesn't have many of the features you need, but really, 2 measures and 1 meter (background one excluded) are all you need for a good starting point if you ever build your own timer skin. Personally, if I'm going to have to modify any skin that I try in order to reach my goal, I'd rather start fresh and add things to my liking as I progress - but then, that's just me.

P.S. Scrolling scales the "skin" instead of modifying the DefaultSeconds variable, but left click pauses / resumes the timer while middle click resets it. You control almost everything from [Variables], including the Direction, which basically turns the "timer" into a "stopwatch" if you set DefaultSeconds to 0 and Direction to 1.

[sl23]

Wow! Thanks I'll look at that tomorrow

Yeah I understand how you like to start from scratch, but I really am not that good!

[Yincognito]

Yeah I understand how you like to start from scratch, but I really am not that good!

Well, there are 2 advantages if one starts from scratch in coding:
- you learn faster, since you try things by yourself
- you don't have to figure out what someone else did in his code
I intentionally let this very basic (apart from the multitude of visual variables that are easy to figure out what they're for), so you can understand easier what's going on.

[sl23]

Haha! Funny man! Easier! I get some of it after a quick look but it's getting late here!

One thing though,once the skin reaches zero, it starts counting up, is that intentional?

Actually, would you mind removing all the code for the resizing please, that's really thrown me out!

[Yincognito]

Haha! Funny man! Easier! I get some of it after a quick look but it's getting late here!

Ok ... MUCH easier then!

One thing though,once the skin reaches zero, it starts counting up, is that intentional?

No, it was not - sorry 'bout that. I was posting a different version of the code than what I had on my computer, but I edited my reply earlier to produce the correct result (guess you didn't realize it). Basically, when it reaches 0 it pauses itself, but you can accordingly place your code for shutdown or whatever actions there instead, as I didn't bother with that.

Actually, would you mind removing all the code for the resizing please, that's really thrown me out!

Oh no, I hope you didn't hurt yourself after being thrown out like that... But ok, your wish was my command, and guess what: I removed everything that made the code look "big", "complicated" and "scary" (scaling, variables, etc.) - now you don't have to worry about the big bad wolf anymore, as the whole thing is precisely 100 lines of code (89 if you count off comments and my usual section group markers). I added the rest of the features in the meantime (plus the "Aller" font), so this does what the old code did (and probably more) while being 4 times shorter. The longer bang sequence in the scroll actions is nothing to worry about, as apart from changing / setting the time according to the mouse position when scrolling over the meter in the formula, it's mostly a replica of the reset code in the middle mouse up action. I let the old code as a "skin variant" for easy comparison:

P.S. Each of the four actions in the text meter can of course be moved or replicated in separate "buttons" if you like, they're not set in stone. Let me know if you have any question or you don't understand something. And yeah, you can use / reuse - but not abuse - this code without any issue. What I want is that you understand it.

EDIT: Damn, I again posted a modified version of the code than you actually need, LOL. The code / skin was set to be a stopwatch instead of a timer (for testing purposes), but I edited my initial post to correct this. It was not a big deal, just changing the DefaultSeconds and Direction variables accordingly in [Variables], but it had to be done - after all, we don't want you to be "thrown off" again by such a minor detail.

[death.crafter]

I would like it if it didn't change the hours and minutes when seconds change. And some other modifications:

I would like it if it didn't change the hours and minutes when seconds change.

Well, I wouldn't like it either if the superior value didn't change when the inferior one passed its maximum. It's like placing stick groups of 10 on the ground: when you reached the 11th, it's already the 2nd group of 10. But then, it's fine either way, I guess it's up to the user's preference, in the end - after all, neither approach is wrong in any way, you can "clamp it" or you can add it.

And some other modifications

Yep, those are welcomed. I was trying to make the code as short as possible while preserving the entire functionality, in order to not scare sl23 with it, so I went for the "all in one" approach. Didn't bother with buttons and all, I let that for the OP to decide (hence mentioning that one can move those actions wherever he likes, buttons included).

Thanks for taking the time to write (and rewrite) that skin
It looks much simpler now, hopefully I can work alone with out needing help.

It's just all the calc's and formula's that confuse me, as I don't understand all the code for them. Some of it I do, but then the bits I don't stop me from seeing what's happening. Considering I used to love maths at school, and was pretty good too, that's quite bad!

Sorry if I had sooo much online presence that you had to write that to get shot of me!
Really though, thanks for the help.

EDIT: One other thing, how did you get the images for Play, Pause and Reset? Really like those
