The timer object is easy to use and a usefull tool for lectures, discussions and classes in SL.
Rez the timer object in your classroom or conference room. It will show 00:00 at startup.
New in Version 3:
- you can now take the timer into inventory and rez it somewhere else, it will keep the set time and contine the countdown.
- you can add your own sound to ring at 00:00
- you can change the chat channel
- you can set access to group, everybody or userlist
To start the clock just say the desired countdown time in the chat in channel 110.
For example:
/110 1:00
will give you a 1 minute countdown
/110 2:30
will give you a 2 minute and 30 second countdown
/110 20
will give you a 20 second countdown
After the set time the counter will say "Time is up!" in chat and it will play a ringing bell sound.
To add your own sound, just replace the sound in the inventory of the clock with your own
If you click on the object you will get a menu:
sound on/off: will turn the bell sound on or off when time 00:00 reached (sound off means a silent alarm, only chat message but no bell)
lo-lag/hi-lag: switch to hi-lag if you are in a laggy area, this will update the timer every 5 seconds only.
repeat on/off: turn on if you want the timer to start again with the same time setting. This is useful if you want to measure the same time over and over again.
set channel: will enable you to change the chat channel. Useful if you have the copyable version and you need to set up several of these timers at the same place.
hovertext: will toggle the hovertext on/off
set access: enables you to set access mode to owner, group, everybody or userlist
clear all: will reset the timer to default settings.
if you choose "userlist" for access, you can use "add user" to add another avatar name who will be able to use the timer. Only access settings are exclusive for the owner, all other settings can be controlled by the other avatar on the list. No notecards necessary, just add the name in chat. The userlist will be cleared if you reset the timer with the "clear all" command.
