Get the time left before a projectile detonates.

Syntax

int getProjectileCounter ( projectile projectile )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: projectile:getCounter(...)
Variable: .counter
Counterpart: setProjectileCounter


Required Arguments

  • projectile: the projectile to get the timer of.

Returns

Returns the the time in milliseconds to detonation which depending on the projectile type will do different things:

  • Grenades will explode when it hits 0
  • Teargas may be a duration timer
  • Both types of rockets will explode when it hits 0
  • Satchels restarts so I do not think it does anything

end
addEventHandler("onClientProjectileCreation",root,getProjectileBoomTime)
