I was trying to build Lara's home level, and starting looking for the timers in the assoult course & the racetrack, now look what says in the TR4 script:

[Level]
;FMV= 1,0
Layer1= 160,160,192,7
ResidentCut= 1,7
ResidentCut= 2,8
LoadCamera= 82362,-258,18777,84018,-1495,20276,33
ResetHUB= 3
Name= Race For The IRIS
YoungLara= ENABLED
Horizon= ENABLED
Timer= ENABLED <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Level= DATA\ANG_RACE,110

After that, I checked the "Race for the Iris" project, I took it away with TR2prj & also found something intresting:
If you remember that level, Lara starts sliding backwards; in the last block of the slide i found this "TRIGGER (1:1) for FLIPEFFECT (30)". I kept checking the level, and guess what, I found that trigger again in the end of the level, now:

> Can we use the timer by enabling it in the scipt?
> Is FLIPEFFECT 30 the one who starts/stops the clock?


Really hope this helps , Thanks

Sorry, I made some mistakes in my first message, the FLIPEFFECT number is 28 instead of 30; 'cose I forgot thet flipeffect 30 was for tracking "Lara's Progress". Now, after re-checking the level, I found:

> Plenty of Flipeffect 30 (for Von Croy to race after Lara)
> 2 flipeffect 28, one at the beginning & the other at the ending.

Sorry about that wrong info

Flipeffect 28 is for the fog. The timer must be something else... And how do we set the start time for the timer?

Yeah, I read the manual, & I'm gonna re-re-check room by room for that thing, anyway, I'm going to try the flip effects. BTW, was there fog in The Race For The IRIS?, I can't remember.

Time to work for me.

There wasn't in the PlayStation version. Not sure about the PC version, though.

i got it to work!! you need to enable the timer in the script. Place and trigger voncroy in your level and place a trigger for flip effect 30. When von croy is triggered and when u step on the trigger for the flipeffect the timer starts!! here is a pic!!

Put Von Croy in a little room where he can't get out.

What about flipeffect 28? BTW, check Race for the IRIS, I don't remember if the watch actually stops, i think not.

Good Luck!
