is it possible to use tf2s default hud for a timer (the one at the top of the screen)?
so idk if you can or not, but somehow override the waitingforplayers hud numbers and set my own countdown?

bump?

TF2's HUD gets its time from a CTeamRoundTimer / team_round_timer.

Sometimes these timers have specific names, such as for Waiting for Player and KOTH clocks, but other times they don't.

You can promote any timer to the HUD timer using the ShowInHUD input. The only catch I know of is that Arena mode doesn't allocate space for the timer unless you use SendConVarValue to send a fake value for the tf_arena_round_time cvar.

Edit: While PropHunt Redux isn't exactly the most well written plugin, you can look to see what it does with team_round_timer; it creates its own timer with setup time.

That worked, thanks!

I have one more question, is there any way you can add text under the timer (like when it says "waiting for players" or "overtime")? Or is that all clientside?

anyone?
