func_clock

This object lets you implement the hour, minute or sweep hand in a clock. By using three such objects at once you can make a fully functional clock face.

Spawnflags

SF_DOOR_ROTATE_Z	64 (rotation about the Z axis, similarly to func_door_rotating)
SF_DOOR_ROTATE_X	64 (rotation about the X axis, similarly to func_door_rotating)

Options

type	Hand type: 0—sweep 1—minute 2—hour
curtime	Applies only to the hour hand. Format: XX XX XX (vector). Hours (0–12), minutes (0–59), seconds (0–59). The hour hand sets the time for the minute and sweep hands automatically after it finds them within the radius that equals its length.
event	Target for activation. Applies only the hour hand. When the hour changes, two activations are done: first the number of hours is communicated through USE_SET, and then the target is activated through USE_ON. This behaviour is handled well by the generator entity, and you can use it to strike the correct number every hour. If you specify an ambient_generic as a target, then there will be one strike (sound) for every hour.

Usage Details

• A clock cannot be activated or deactivated, its state is always ON.
• The hands are totally independent from one another, and are synchronised only once at map start if the current time is set for the hour hand.
• For correct operation all hands should be oriented to point at 12.00.00.
• Do not try to set the hour using angles. This will be ignored.
