Event
(1/1)

Hi Corey. Can I have an event that will trigger at a certain time (instead of minutes/seconds left in a round). I would like to have a chime play at the top of every hour. The time would be based of the clock in the system tray.
Thanks
Corey Cooper:
Of course. Just use the trigger "the clock ticks" and set the Conditions appropriately.
timeOfDay = 120000
This will fire at noon. For every hour you could do something like:
timeOfDay = 0 or timeOfDay = 010000 or timeOfDay = 020000 ...
Or more easily:
timeOfDay % 10000 = 0
FYI, % is the "modulo" operator, which means "remainder after division". So, "timeOfDay divided by 10000 leaves a remainder of 0".

Works!
Next, how can I get this to fire if I am in pre-tournament state without a countdown timer running?
Corey Cooper:
You can't. :(
It also won't fire if the clock is paused.
This is partially intentional, to keep events from firing while you're not running a tournament. But in retrospect there are few if any times that would be the case, unless you specifically wanted them to fire outside of your tournament. Like you do. I might need to add a "The time-of-day clock ticks" trigger, or something like that.
