Combat Timer - Extension (v.0.0.1)

Thank you for the fix.

I have wanted something like this for so long. Any chance you could add a countdown timer to it? I love putting groups under time pressure.

It has both a Countdown and a Countup option.

What damned said.

I have anticipated your every need, and disregarded those which I deemed irrelevant (but the countdown is still there).

I know there isnt really any sound support in FG but... there is the poke button when you want to get a players attention... i wonder if you could grab that ding and ring it twice when the countdown timer hits zero...?

Bloody brilliant.

Well done, what a great solution.

Great idea for an extension. I'll be giving this a try tonight with my players.

I am trying to come up to speed on implementing extensions. I have worked through the stickied tutorials and have dissected a couple other extensions. This extension is my current dissection. An amazing piece of work, mortgarra. Thank you so much. As I try different things with the code to see outcomes, I'd thought about trying to hack in a flashing red background after the timer counts down to say 5 seconds.

I've added this to the 5e extensions list sticky in the 5e forum. If you talk nicely to Trenloe he'll maybe put it in one of his stickies too :)

Glad you're enjoying the code. I would have added more comments if I'd thought someone was going to be auditing it. ;) Hopefully you find it useful.

I had considered something similar, but decided to roll out the current version without a lot of bells and whistles. I'll add it to the feature list, but I'm already in the musing stages of my next extension (which I want to have done before our group's next game in 2 weeks), so it may take a backburner to that project. This extension took me about 30 hours of flailing to cobble it all together, though hopefully the next one will go faster now that I understand more of how FG works under the hood.
