CPMA Item Timers

Item timers

Reference

• The available SuperHUD elements are:
  • ItemTimers1_Icons to ItemTimers4_Icons
    Icons of a list of item timers.
  • ItemTimers1_Times to ItemTimers4_Times
    Respawn times of a list of item timers.
• SuperHUD configs should therefore always define item timer elements in matching Icons/Times pairs.
• Each list can be filtered by team in CTF/NTF using the itteam <R|B|O|E|N> (Red, Blue, Own, Enemy, Neutral) command.
• If there isn't at least 1 red flag and 1 blue flag, itteam N will match all items.
• Backgrounds can be colored by the team of each item timer using the color I command.
  The red/blue teams get red/blue colors, other teams (neutral/none) don't draw the background.
• The direction command is only used for the axis (L/R ->horizontal, T/B -> vertical).
  Ordering is handled by the ch_timersOrder* CVars.
• ch_timersList is a list of item type names. It dictates:
  • What types are filtered out. Types not in the list are not displayed.
  • The order in which item timers are displayed based on type.

• We add a team-colored line below the icons for CTF and NTF:
• We define a background as usual with bgcolor and fill.
• We modify the background color's RGB or A values with color I.
  • When the item timer's team is red/blue, the RGB channels are changed to be red/blue.
  • When the item timer's team is neutral/none, the A channel is set to 0 (i.e. invisible).

Console commands

\ch_timersList "mh ra ya rg lg rl"

cpm3a 1v1

Since the map has two YAs, it shows up twice. The "??" means unknown respawn time. This is what you'll see when the ProMode mega-health's countdown hasn't started yet.

\ch_timersList "50hp mh ra"

\ch_timersOrderTeams 3

q3wcp9 ctf

`ch_timesOrderTeams 3 means that the blue team is always displayed first.

In CTF/NTF, the default team order of item timers is: own, neutral, enemy. (\ch_timersOrderTeams 0)

To re-order items in the red and blue teams in CTF/NTF, change ch_timersOrderOR and ch_timersOrderEB

By default, teams are in own, neutral, enemy order.
With ch_timersOrderTeams, you can put own/enemy/red/blue first.

By default, own items are in flag-to-mid order and enemy items in mid-to-flag order.
With ch_timersOrderOR and ch_timersOrderEB, you can put them in flag-to-mid, mid-to-flag, ch_timersList or inverted ch_timersList order.

When you set red/blue first with ch_timersOrderTeams:

• ch_timersOrderOR is for red.
• ch_timersOrderEB is for blue.

When you set own/enemy first with ch_timersOrderTeams:

• ch_timersOrderOR is for own.

• ch_timersOrderEB is for enemy.

• To see team filtering in action to split up timer groups with itteam, see the examples below.

• To make a time list vertical, use either direction T or direction B.
