I been looking at the Global Script in the Mad house starter
How do i use the functions Hunter, Timer,
Can some so tell me how they work and how ton use them
//On Timer:
// ============================= Timer ===========================================
#define OWNTIMERBASE 400
int amountoftimers = 0;
function SetOwnTimer (int timerid, int timeout){
if (amountoftimers < timerid) amountoftimers = timerid;
SetGlobalInt (OWNTIMERBASE - timerid, timeout + 1);
}
function IsOwnTimerExpired (int timerid){
if (GetGlobalInt (OWNTIMERBASE - timerid) == 1)
{
SetGlobalInt (OWNTIMERBASE - timerid, 0);
return 1;
}
else return 0;
}
function CheckTimers (){
int timers = OWNTIMERBASE - 1;
while (timers >= OWNTIMERBASE - amountoftimers)
{
if (GetGlobalInt (timers) >= 2) SetGlobalInt (timers, GetGlobalInt (timers) - 1);
timers--;
}
}
//On Hunter
// ============================= hunter ===========================================
// this section after cutscene functions
int hunter_char = NO_CHAR;
// two-dimeanional hunting
#define STEPS_UNTIL_DIR 10
int steps = STEPS_UNTIL_DIR;
int lastx = -1;
int lasty = -1;
// give player time to act
#define COUNTDOWN_OFF -1
#define COUNTDOWN_START 400
#define COUNTDOWN_STOPPED -2
int countdown = COUNTDOWN_OFF;
int hunter_area = -1;
function StartHunting (int hunter){
hunter_char = hunter;
lastx = -1;
lasty = -1;
countdown = COUNTDOWN_OFF;
// switch player disabled
// avo- SetGlobalInt (291, 1); // avo veraltet
}
function StartCountdown (){
// give player some time to think and react
// but player can't move
SetGlobalInt (2, 0);
hunter_area = GetWalkableAreaAt (character [GetPlayerCharacter ()].x - GetViewportX (), character [GetPlayerCharacter ()].y - GetViewportY ());
RemoveWalkableArea (hunter_area);
countdown = COUNTDOWN_START;
}
function StopHunting (){
hunter_char = NO_CHAR;
// player may move
if (hunter_area >= 0)
{
RestoreWalkableArea (hunter_area);
hunter_area = -1;
}
SetGlobalInt (2, 1);
// switch player enabled
// avo- SetGlobalInt (291, 0); // avo veraltet
}
function IsHunting (){
int result = hunter_char != NO_CHAR;

{
// stop hunting when chars are in different rooms
if (character [hunter_char].room != character [GetPlayerCharacter ()].room)
{

}
}
return result;
}

}

// check distance
int dx = px - character [hunter_char].x;
int dy = py - character [hunter_char].y;
if ((dx * dx + dy * dy) <= 500)
{
caught = 1;
HunterSucceeded ();
}
else if (steps <= 0)
{
if ((px != lastx) || (py != lasty))
{
// correct HUNTER's direction
MoveCharacter (hunter_char, px, py);
lastx = px;
lasty = py;
}

}
else steps--;
return caught;
