it is not here to set a time limit ! where else ?


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!
Jonathan

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.

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" ? :think:

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!
