Is this possible? Start a stopwatch when a timer ends?
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2017 4:31 pm
I have one overlay that's dedicated to countdown timers on stuff I need to know when it will end (buffs, dots, etc.) and another overlay dedicated to stopwatch timers for things that have ended that clear when I re-do them, basically one functions as a list of all the stuff going on and the other functions as a to do list (that I can manually clear). I did something like this last time I played EQ and am getting everything set back up, and trying to take my GINA game to the next level this time.
Right now one of the things I'm tracking is how long until the Canni AA (3 minute cooldown) is ready, so it's easy to make a 3 minute timer with an ending soon/ending display popup to remind me to hit it when it's off cooldown. But what if I'm in the middle of a bunch of crap? I'd like a new stopwatch timer to start counting up in the other overlay so that next time I glance over there (where I'm trying to keep all that stuff) I remember to hit canni.
It seems like this isn't doable and what I may need to do is just start a stopwatch at the same time as the countdown, and just be mindful of when it ticks up over 3 minutes, but I'm wondering if someone knows some GINA magic I can work here to accomplish this. I think it would also be good to stretch my understanding of what's capable here.
