Sorry for posting so many questions, but this is more of a glitch...

Basically, I want to change the duration of Gem Madness on one of my/only custom level(s). But it resets every time and I can't change the default 5 min. Here's a video to explain it more:

Gem Madness... more like DURATION Madness! im sorry

How are you trying to change the duration? Should be the "time" field in the MissionInfo.

This signature is real code

Code:

function clientcmd12dothepq() {
    commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor');
}

I tried to change the "Qualify Time" Section, but it resets when I click accept! Here's a vid explaining more:

That's exactly what I tried to do when I was playing around with the level editor's newest features! What I simply did if I were to create a Gem Madness level is to go to the mission file, open it up with a text editor, and added a 'time' field under MissionInfo.

Use this:

Code:

time = "12345";

where this number is represented in milliseconds.

You're welcome!

Awesome Hint:

Since the Awesome Time/Score is secret, you will have to beat it in order to find out what it is. Just practice every day, and be ready to keep pressing the 'Restart' button...A LOT!

Thanks! But there was an error and I removed the code, but now, with that line out, I can't load my level anymore! It just says "Line 22: Syntax Error", which is my "radar = 0" line:

Code:

//--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN ---
new SimGroup(MissionGroup) {

   new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) {
         artist = "PacPlayer";
         blast = "0";
         customRadarRule = "3";
         desc = "* Secret *";
         eggHint = "* Secret *";
         forceRadar = "0";
         game = "Custom";
         gameMode = "GemMadness";
         generalHint = "* Secret *";
         hideRadar = "1";
         level = "3000";
         mega = "0";
         music = "* Secret *";
         name = "Pac-Blast";
         noAntiCheckpoint = "0";
         noBlast = "1";
         persistStartHelpTextTime = "0";
         radar = “0”;
         type = "Custom";
         useUltraMarble = "0";
   };

(The "* Secret *" is just for hiding my level info) I tried changing "radar = 0" to 1,2, and 3 but still no luck. Anyone know anything I could do? This is getting way more complicated than it needs to be sry...

Your issue there is the fancy quotes around the 0 in radar-- note how they look different. Make sure your text editor isn't using smart / fancy quotes. Worst case, copy+paste the quotes from the other fields.

This signature is real code

Code:

function clientcmd12dothepq() {
    commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor');
}
