Frequently Asked Questions
How do you reposition the countdown timer on your screen in OnTime?
You can choose a preconfigured layout via Position Preset or set manual coordinates using Timer X Position and Timer Y Position in OnTime Configuration.
How do timer colors change as remaining time decreases?
The display shifts between High Color, Mid Color, and Low Color based on remaining percentage thresholds set in Mid Threshold and Low Threshold.
How do you trigger commands automatically when a timer ends?
Configure finish commands on the timer, with execution pacing managed by Command Delay (ticks) to prevent server lag spikes.
Can consecutive timers be chained together automatically?
Yes, assigning a follow-up clock via the next-in-sequence setting automatically starts the next timer when the active countdown finishes.
What is the OnTime WebPanel used for?
The WebPanel provides an external browser dashboard for starting, stopping, and monitoring active server timers and minigame clocks in real time.
