+--- Thread: Larger Maximum Time Limits on Timers (/showthread.php?tid=24000)
Larger Maximum Time Limits on Timers - BioFrequency - 04-25-2025
The idea I had rummaging around in my head was as follows:
Create a bunch of TTV's
Set them around the station with LONG timers.
And then RP making demands for giving up the bombs locations.
However, this idea quickly got spoiled like month old milk. I learned you can't set the timer on a TTV for anything longer than 10 minutes.....
So my suggestion is simple. Can the max timer length be increased? Or is there some reason its limited to 10 minutes?
I would prefer if the timers could go up to say 60 minutes. Not even just for my sake, but it would give better opportunities for anyone to Role Play out making bomb threats.
I 'tried' my idea with the 10 minute timer. It didn't work out too well.... By the time the Security team actually communicated and role played out the interaction - it was already too late.

i like this, but i think you should need to multitool the timer first to extend / reduce the max time. i really don't wanna sit there trying to get 5 seconds on the dot when a pixel ends up adding 2.3 seconds. that aside, hell yeah

A little off-topic, but you can double-click most tgui dials to enter a number manually

I mean... Its fairly on topic - RSOD was concerned about if changing the timer would create any accessibility issue or make setting specific times unintuitive.
He is partly right - increasing the max time would make setting a specific time using 'just' the interface dial more difficult. But, as you stated the desired time can also be entered manually.
