How to pause/stop a Time Expression ?

[Dan Ebberts]

This change would make it stop at 45:00:

clockTime = Math.min(clockStart +countspeed*(time – inPoint),45*60);

Thanks it worked.

Now if I want it to start at 45:00 (for the second half) and stop at 90:00

I tried to edit these two expression lines:

clockStart = 2700; //(2700 so it can start at 45:00)

clockTime = Math.min(clockStart +countspeed*(time – inPoint),90*60);

But when I try to change the second expression to 90*60, the time returns to 00:00 when it reaches 59:59.

How can I make it work ?

Something like this maybe:


countspeed = 1;
clockStart = 0;
periodDur = 45*60;
halfTimeDur = 15*60;

function times(n){
if (n < 10) return "0" + n else return "" + n
}

if (time > (inPoint + periodDur + halfTimeDur)){
t = time - (inPoint + periodDur + halfTimeDur);
clockTime = Math.min(periodDur + countspeed*t,90*60);
}else{
t = time - inPoint;
clockTime = Math.min(clockStart + countspeed*t,45*60);
}
if (clockTime < 0){
minus = "-";
clockTime = -clockTime;
}else{
minus = "";
}
t = Math.floor(clockTime);
h = Math.floor(t/3600);
min = Math.floor((t%3600)/60);
sec = Math.floor(t%60);
ms = clockTime.toFixed(3).substr(-3);
minus + times(h) + ":" + times(min) + ":" + times(sec) + "." + ms


It’s not going to work quite right though if you change countspeed or clockStart.
