Sounds like read timer is goofing up somehow. Try inserting
show value (read timer(0))
right before the if check. This will let us see exactly what number we're getting here.
PS: This is generally a good idea. When stuff isn't going right, try running your variables/numbers through a show value command. It is probably your best friend ever in terms of finding/fixing scripting bugs.

Hey, wasn't there a command to write to the debug file? There should be. It would make debugging much easier.

Wow this is really weird. Sounds like a bug, really. Can anybody confirm that if checks work correctly when the condition is 0==0? Because that's what we have right now, and apparently the code is not getting run... I'm going to try it on RC3 (that's what I have handy right now)
Okay just did it, and 0==0 checks out as true in RC3. MBSub, try putting showvalue(123) inside the if block (right before the variable declarations) and let us know if 123 ever shows up in the bottom corner. Do not get rid of the other show value command. We need both to really see which parts of the script are being run.

Oh! Hey! I just remembered something cool! TeeEmCee re-wrote the "script debugging mode" for Ubersetzung. If you have debugging keys enabled, press F10 twice, and your script will pause. Then you can press any key to step through it one-frame-at-a-time, while displaying some information about the currently-running commands.
Try it, and see if it is helpful |

| Code: | script,minetimer,begin
if (read timer (0) == (0)) then (
show value (123)
variable (i,tag)
for (i,0,35) do,begin
tag:=read npc(i,11) + 1000
show value (read timer(0))
if (tag >> 1000) then, begin
set tag (tag,off)
end
end
set timer (0,60,timer:default,@resetstring,1,timer flag:battle)
$2="Ores reset in "
show string at (2,150,190)
show string at (1,280,190)
)
end
script,resetstring,begin
clear string (2)
clear string (1)
end |
Maybe I did something in the code wrong, but it won't even show the "123" value as it just stays "0".

Oh, wait a moment. Timers count down to -1. The idea was that they show 0 for a second before actually triggering whatever when they hit -1. So just change the first if to "if (read timer (0) <= 0)"
(msw meant for you to put the "show value (read timer(0))" before the very first if, so that it's shown every time the script runs)

Unfortunately, it's pretty unfinished. And undocumented! Actually, I'm going to fix that now. Anyway, this probably isn't a situation suited to using the debugger. But this give me an idea: I'll add a mode to the debugger for looking at the state of timers.

Are you kidding me? How did I miss that misplacement when he posted the new script? I guess because he had already told me that it was returning zero, and I didn't even think about it being incorrectly placed. Well, the important thing is that the problem should now be solved. And we may have gotten improvements to the debugger out of it all.
