Hello.
I am unaware how to do this one.
What i am trying to do is make a "Round" system whereby there is a bar(96pixels long) and a timer(5000 milliseconds) and i have no idea how to know how much to fill it. So it looks like its filling per loop up until 5 sec passed when it should be full.

int Max size = 96;
int RoundDelayAmount = 5000;
int RoundAmountTime = 0;
RoundAmountTime += Timer.restart().аsMiliseconds() /* restart() will return a time elsped from last restart() call */ /* This is called each loop */
int Xsize = ??? ;
setSize(  Xsize, 10.f) // Takes "int x, int y" arguments

Or if you don't like this, how would you do this?

If you have a max time (bar full when this amount of time passed) and current time passed, you can get the ratio of full and empty bar sections by dividing TimePassed by MaxTime, which you then convert to the correct units by multiplying by the bar lenght.

So, i believe Xsize=(RoundAmountTime / RoundDelayAmount) * MaxSize;

Thanks this works fine.

This is 'easy' thing to do you already have max amount so probably the best thing to do is use a varable that will be incremented every 1 sec or so, when the value is incremented you expand your progress bar by some amount, when value that is beign incremented is equal to max the progress bar is full. Entire thing can be done in more or less one for loop.

You could also cast them to floats... but since RoundDelayAmount is 5000, it wouldn't really matter lol.

Actually it mothers since it improves accuracy. And i do cast them to floats.
