Hi,

I'm trying to make a timer for rFactor rally stages. I've mapped the 6 numbers with different materials so I can make different events.



My question is: What delay I should use for the events? I've found out that putting 1 in the delay box is not 1 second exactly in the game.

I tried two different ways to make this:

This one worked:


This one didn't work well, and it should be OK because the delay it's equivalent:


I just want to know what to put in the delay box for:

- 1 seconds
- 10 seconds
- 1 minute
- 10 minutes
- 1 hour

I'm sorry about my bad english, I hope you understood me.

Think of delay as the time between frames, or length of time the frame is shown for.

While individual animation sequences hold to their timing, rfactor does not have a clock running in the background to synchronize multiple animations. I suspect your two sequences are out of sync. Seems rfactor starts animation as soon as something is loaded. You may want to use a bik animation. IIRC the frame number limitation precludes the making of any substantial length timer with individual numbers. Back in '07 when I attempted to do this for Franks' Pikes Peak I couldn't even get to a minute, IIRC. As you can see its been a while, and the details are foggy now. Search around for the limitation on animation frames. 30 is a number that I seem to recollect.

Another thing to note: The timer will not be sync'd between clients online.

Ok, thanks for your reply.



I know that happens if clients join the server at different times, but what if weekend is restarted?
