How can I set a time limit for a level.
In another level I have seen, which is set there a time limit.
Have unfortunately not figured out where you could adjust.
Cool would be if one could adjust still so a noise of a ticking clock.

Hey,
Try this:
1. Find your level's STL file and open it in a text editor.
2. Scroll to the top, and find your first sector. It should look something like this:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

(sector
    (name "main")
    (music "music/chipdisko.ogg")
    (ambient-light 1 1 1)
    (background
      (speed 0.5)
      (image "images/background/semi_arctic.jpg")
    )
    (camera
      (mode "normal")
    )


3. Insert the following code after it:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

(leveltime
   (time 20)
)


with the time being the amount of time you want on the clock.
4. A clock should appear in the editor(like your screenshot) with the time you set on it.
Hope that helps!

thank u
i try it but it did not work.

if i open level with editor looks a bit different...

You can still add that code. It is just that the new lines haven't been added correctly.

Notepad doesn't create the lines. Try something like Notepad++ or Atom (by GitHub)

Or Wordpad, or Microsoft Word if you have it.

gedit

Or Geany - that's a nice cross-platform editor.

Cool. Thank u all.

next problem. I have a labyrinth with 5 sectort. the goal is in sector 5 .
Actually the Level Time will only count in sector 1

any idea to get the "Level" time for the "Level" not only for sector "main" ?

I don't think it's possible to set a time limit for the entire level. What you could do is set an individual time limit for each sector. Just add the code I showed above after each sector in the code. Just find in the code

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

(sector
     (name "something")


and add the leveltime code for each sector. Hope I helped!

@ Jonathan Yes i guess so.... i guess its better to include that in a new level
