getMissionTime()

Syntax

var time = getMissionTime();

Parameters

No parameters.

Return value

Notes

When the mission timer reaches 0, eventMissionTimeout() is triggered and the game will continue unless instructed otherwise within the event handler.

It's common to play audio prompts (using playSound() function) to let the user know how long is left on the timer – a list of audio files can be found in the sidebar to the right... →

Examples

var timeRemaining = getMissionTime();
 
if (timeRemaining == -1) {
	// timer is not active
} else if (timeRemaining == 0) {
	// mission timed out, eventMissionTimeout() will have been triggered
} else {
	// there is timeRemaining seconds left on the timer
}
