Setup timer - Global-Conflicts-ArmA/Olsen-Framework-Arma-3 GitHub Wiki

Description

The setup_timer module allows for mission makers to restrict a certain side, and also certain selection of players to an area for X amount of time at the beginning of a mission. The setup timer will visually display a count down timer and final seconds count down effect.
This is very useful for allowing defenders time to dig in before an attacking player team leaves spawn.

Usage

1. Go to modules>module.sqf and enable the setup_timer module.
2. Place an area marker, scale it so it covers over the units you wish to trap within the setup zone, and give your marker a variable name.
3. Go to modules>setup_timer>settings.sqf

Within settings.sqf you'll see the following line

["airfield", 60 * 5, west] call FUNC(addSetupMarker);

airfield - This is the variable name you gave to your marker.
60*5 - This is how long the setup timer will last in second, multiplied by a number, so here it's 60 seconds multiplied by 5, so a 5min setup timer.
west This is the side the setup timer effects, you can use west, east, independent, and civilian
