Hi Umair Ahmed,


I am a WASP3D Team Member.

I read the topic you wrote about the countdown timer issue.The countdown timer you used is not suitable for your requirement.Instead you can make a countdown timer through code in the scene.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Umair Ahmed,

As you said i am just sending you a brief description and a example scene to you.

Notes for making timer is below:

Timer Making Notes:

1.This is a count up timer done through code.

2.In this, the updation of time is done through an event called Pre Render event.

3.The event raises when scene become render and it comes 25 (frame rate of the scene) times in a second.

Steps:

1.Create the scene on which you want to implement Timer.

2.Just put a 3D Text on the scene on which the time is displayed.

3.Now just click the scene editor tab.

4.On this you can see the AttachSceneHandlerEvents method DetachSceneHandlerEvents.

in AttachSceneHandlerEvents

this.m_pEngineWrppr.m_evtEWEnginPreRenderInfo+=OnPrerender; inside try

in DetachSceneHandlerEvents

this.m_pEngineWrppr.m_evtEWEnginPreRenderInfo -=OnPrerender; inside try

You have to make a method called OnPrerender,this is the method on which the pre render event is attached;

Now increment the time inside this Method as per the requirement.

If you need count up timer increment the time by maintaining values inside the method.

If you need Count down timer you have to decrement the time values.

Make a local variable inside the scene and wire it with the 3DText.

After calculating values inside the pre render event put this values to the local variable

eg:this.LocalVariable.String_1="00:00:00"; here String_1 is the local variable

My apologies Sreenath, I forgot to mention I am using WASP3D 2009 version where I am not provided any Scene Editor Tab. If i could find a solution for WASP3D 2009 I shall be very thankful to you.

Sorry once again..

Thanks
