Creater Speedrun Timer (1.18)

[StrangePerson]

Hey, I want a mod that starts a timer when I run an Command and Teleports Player with a given team (Ingame Scoreboard) to fix coordinates. I know things like that are easier with a plugin but I need a mod for that. I don´t know how to do that best so pls help me... (you can also help me if you only give me an example code for a timer or explain how to best make the timer. the other things don't have to be, maybe i could even do it myself).

Thank you

To make a timer you store the current time (Instant.now) and then you can calculate the difference between that and the current time.

and how can I show this timer on the display? Sorry but please explain the things better Im an beginner.

Where do you want to show it exactly?

render it on the Screen using a IIngameOverlay,
you can draw the timer using Font#draw, (Edit) would be one option you could choose

You can register for the RenderGameOverlayEvent (Pre or Post) in your FMLClientSetupEvent.

In the event draw whatever you like. Maybe you can look at ForgeInGameGui.renderHudText() for how it draws a list of messages.

The event fires multiple times, but I would guess you probably want the Post event and check for ElementType.ALL before drawing? YMMV

If you want to play nice, you should also check Minecraft.getInstance().options.hideGui

Forget that, it actually checks that before calling your method.

OverlayRegistry should be used for new HUD elements instead of the event.

That looks to be called in the same place as Post/ElementType.ALL

Except you register an IIngameOvelay with the OverlayRegistry instead of using an event.

So I guess the event is still needed for other ElementTypes?

What do you mean by this?

[warjort]

I mean the event supports different element types of the gui, ALL, BOSS, TEXT, etc. The OverlayRegistry is only used where it does ElementType.ALL

 

Also the event supports Pre and Post while the OverlayRegistry is just "Post". Which means the event supports cancellation of the drawing of that element altogether via a Pre handler.

But that's getting off-topic.

Yes. For the purposes of adding to the HUD only ALL is relevant.

Which has nothing to do with adding an element to the HUD. Also, RGOE.PreLayer fires for all elements, allowing you to cancel individual elements still.
