Suggestion for Lua widget - Ghost timer.

It would be usefull to know how old the info of the base ghost units are!
A small timer that starts as the ghost unit is created and the timer stays with it.
Maybe refresh after 5 secs!

PS. This widget should automatically disable if ghost units is off!!

Here's one: http://spring.unknown-files.net/file/32 ... Timer.lua/

Note that the Game table does not contain an entry indicating whether ghosted buildings are enabled, so you'll have to manage the deactivation part yourself.

What is ghosting...?

Gj on that. Although sad that it only shows seconds not minutes when passed 60 secs and so on. What I mean : 54s - later - 1.1 min. - much much later - 1 .43 h.

Good, but I tried to place 100 solars and gave em to the enemy bot and flew over with a scout and the timers are not sync with game time or real time you can see this when changing gamespeed!(There is no real need em to refresh every second every fifth second would be enough)
+ I think timers which are set on buildings with ghost units which are seen in radar are destroyed timer should disappear!

Syncs the timers and updates them only every 5 secs, etc.

It shows up on ghosts even in replay too!! That is not needed and it even doesn"t count time too, cause spectator sees it!

Open it in a text editor and change line 114 from

Code: Select all

if (ghost[4]) then

to

Code: Select all

if (ghost[4] and ghost[2] > 0) then

And there's no need to shout.
