Rmanimal: Created times page.

Created times page.

New page

Times are a part of the minr plugin that allow players to speedrun maps. They currently do not give rewards.

== Searching for times ==
To find the times to a map, do /c times map-code or /c times map-name. To look at a page past the first 8 top times (if it exists), do /c times page-# map-code or /c times page-# map-name.
== Getting a time ==
In order to get a time, you have to click the start sign to begin, then hit the points sign at the end of the course. Offline time is also included, so make sure to be uninterrupted if you want to receive a top time. Mid-checkpoint signs are not required to hit for a time, and using green+ commands during a run will invalidate the time such as /rocket.
== Time announcing ==
Once you beat a map, you will be told how long you took, what your previous best is if there is one, and what ranking your new time is if it exceeds your previous best. If you received 3rd or higher for the first time it will be announced in main chat in yellow if it 3rd, dark gray if it is 2nd, and gold if it is 1st. It will only announce a 3rd+ time if it is your first time receiving that ranking.
== Map Placing Sorting ==
If you want to sort maps you have beaten by your ranking in them, do /c ffa page-# rank.
== Shortcut patching ==
Due to the nature of some shortcuts and to the decision of the map creator(s), sometimes shortcuts will be patched that make the best times impossible. When this occurs, times that are impossible are removed.
== Example ==
The player Red wants to get his first world record in the map ''Mission: Impossible'', a heavily parkour-based map It's mapcode is FFA-c-mii. He does /c times Mission Impossible and gets the following list: 
1: Turquoise / 0:03:17.174 
2: Orange / 0:03:19.098 
3: Green / 0:03:19.293 
4: Yellow / 0:03:20.657 
5: White / 0:03:21.200 
6: Pink / 0:03:23.738 
7: Purple / 0:03:27.102 
8: Gray / 0:04:05.374 
Page 1 / 32. Click the arrows to go to the next or previous page. ->

Red's first time was horrendous, and did not beat his old time. Red receives this message: 
[MCP] You did not beat your old time of 0:05:15.891 with a time of 5:20.712.

On Red's fifteenth run-through it proved much better, and Red received a time of 3:22.982. This message is sent to Red: 
[MCP] You beat your old record! Your new time is: 0:03:22.982 (#6).

Red now does /c times FFA-c-mii 
1: Turquoise / 0:03:17.174 
2: Orange / 0:03:19.098 
3: Green / 0:03:19.293 
4: Yellow / 0:03:20.657 
5: White / 0:03:21.200 
6: Red / 0:03:22.982 
7: Pink / 0:03:23.738 
8: Purple / 0:03:27.102 
Page 1 / 32. Click the arrows to go to the next or previous page. ->

Finally, after a few days a shortcut is patched, making the top 3 times impossible. Those are removed, and now doing /c times Mission Impossible displays this: 
1: Yellow / 0:03:20.657 
2: White / 0:03:21.200 
3: Red / 0:03:22.982 
4: Pink / 0:03:23.738 
5: Purple / 0:03:27.102 
6: Gray / 0:04:05.374 
7: Brown / 0:04:10.682 
8: Violet / 0:04:24.119 
Page 1 / 31. Click the arrows to go to the next or previous page. ->
== Trivia ==
*In some instances you might find a time that is entirely -'s. This is due to a time being removed for that player or simply because they beat the map before the times plugin was in place.

+Times are a part of the minr plugin that allow players to speedrun [[maps]] and [[challenges]]. Times only award [[Points#Speedrun Score|Speedrun Score]] for beating maps. For more information specifically about the Speedrun Score rewards and breakdown, visit the [[Points]] page.

+Whenever a player joins a map, clicks the first checkpoint sign, or dies at the first checkpoint, their map time is reset to 0. Time then continuously increments until the player hits the finish sign at the end of the map their checkpoint is at. While in a map, players can see their current map time in the tab list.

+=== Getting a Challenge Time ===
-[MCP] You beat your old record! Your new time is: 0:03:22.982 (#6).
+Getting times for [[challenges]] is slightly different than for maps. Starting a challenge begins a timer that runs alongside map timers, and it only resets by quitting and rejoining the challenge, hitting the first checkpoint sign in the first map in the challenge, or by dying at checkpoint 0 in the first map of the challenge. Challenge times stop when players hit the finish sign for the final map in the challenge.

+If the player gets 1st, 2nd, or 3rd on a map or challenge which improves their placement, the time will be announced for all players. First place is announced in gold, second place in silver, and third place in bronze. The only instance where players can get a time announced for a placement they already have is when first place improves their time, which gets its own message.

+== Invalid and Null Times ==
-Page 1 / 32. Click the arrows to go to the next or previous page. ->
+Timers can sometimes be interrupted, changing how times are stored when completing a map or challenge. The most extreme form of this is timer invalidation, which clears the current timer and does not count a completion for the map or challenge the player was in. These are typically caused by failing a challenge requirement, such as dying too many times in limited lives challenges. Challenge timers can be invalidated while map timers remain active.
 == Trivia ==
 *In some instances you might find a time that is entirely -'s. This is due to a time being removed for that player or simply because they beat the map before the times plugin was in place.
 **This also applies to maps beaten in Hardcore, most notably [[Jiga's Claymaze]]
