:peach: API Usage (Exports)

You can control the timers from your other Lua scripts using these exports.

startTimer(amount, unit, title)

Starts a new timer.

  • Parameters:
    • amount (number): The duration of the timer (e.g., 5, 30).
    • unit (string): The unit of time (‘sec’, ‘min’, ‘hr’ - as defined in Config.TimeUnits).
    • title (string, optional): A custom title for the timer. If nil or empty, defaults to “Countdown”.
  • Returns:
    • success (boolean): true if the timer was started successfully, false otherwise.
    • timerId (number or nil): A unique ID for the timer if successful, otherwise nil. This ID is used to stop the timer.

Example: Starting a timer from another resource

-- client_script.lua in another resource
-- Start a 5-minute timer with a title
local success, timerId = exports['bs-countdown']:startTimer(5, 'min', 'My Custom Event')

if success then
    print('Timer started with ID:', timerId)
else
    print('Failed to start timer.')
end

-- Alternative: Start a 30-second timer without a title (will default to "Countdown")
exports['bs-countdown']:startTimer(30, 'sec')

stopTimer(timerId)

Stops an active timer.

  • Parameters:
    • timerId (number): The ID of the timer to stop (obtained from startTimer).
  • Returns:
    • success (boolean): true if the timer was found and stopped, false otherwise.

Example:

local timerToStop = 1337 -- Assuming timerId 1337 exists
local stopped = exports['bs-countdown']:stopTimer(timerToStop)
if stopped then
    print('Timer ' .. timerToStop .. ' stopped.')
else
    print('Timer ' .. timerToStop .. ' not found or already stopped.')
end

isTimerRunning(timerId)

Checks if a specific timer is currently running.

  • Parameters:
    • timerId (number): The ID of the timer to check.
  • Returns:
    • isRunning (boolean): true if the timer with the given ID is active, false otherwise.

Example:

local checkTimerId = 1
local isRunning = exports['bs-countdown']:isTimerRunning(checkTimerId)
if isRunning then
    print('Timer ' .. checkTimerId .. ' is currently running.')
else
    print('Timer ' .. checkTimerId .. ' is not running.')
end
