Default CS time... special? - 11-01-2004

Is there anything special about gpGlobals->time in cs, because in a lot of plugins, i saw that they somehow used timelimit and timeleft...

If there's a difference could someone explain it to me?

AFAIK, "timelimit" and "timeleft" don't exist in the Half-Life globalvars_t structure. These are variables that are computed out of gpGlobals->time. Let's say timelimit is the date at which the round will end, and timeleft is what it says.

Code:
// on round start
timelimit = gpGlobals->time + CVAR_GET_FLOAT ("mp_thecvarthatholdstheroundduration");
 
// anytime
timeleft = timelimit - gpGlobals->time;

so otherwise there's no change to gpGlobals->time that's done by mp.dll?

when i say timelimit and timeleft, i mean that they use cs cvars...

I noticed this in the amx, where OLO uses those 2 for timers, so I got a little confused, why not do
Code:
...
float last_ticked;
...
struct timer {
...
float waitleft;
float wait;
...
}
...
void timertick()
{
...
if (timer->waitleft - (gpGlobals->time - last_ticked) <= 0)
...
last_ticked = gpGlobals->time;
}
Instead of what he does (which just plainly scares me)

What's the difference ? ???

gpGlobals->time is always different each frame, and it can't be "paused". I'm not sure I understand what you are doing here...

mp_timelimit is in minutes by the way, and gpGlobals->time is in seconds, so you need to multiply mp_timelimit value by 60 first before comparing it with gpGlobals->time

not all mods support mp_timelimit. DoD does not where TFC does. I do not know about other mods.

Your better off with timeleft = mp_timelimit - gpGlobals->time
