why I did not think of the gate is beyond me. But it solves the worlds problems, well at least mine

The reason you didn't think of it is because, instead of actually figuring out exactly what was causing the problem, I created a workaround that hinges on an entirely different part of your system that didn't have anything to do with where the problem was occurring. It was a weird way to do it, it just happens to work. Also, technically, I didn't solve the problem. That errant trigger still happens, I just directed it into a dead Gate instead of letting it continue through the chain of actors.

Also feel free to cannibalize the Patch I posted in this thread: https://community.troikatronix...

Hi,

Thanks for the usefulness of your patchwork. I have modified the patch again to make a control panel timer with a reset button. I used it for a show last night and thought to add to the shares here. It uses a Pulse Generator set to 1hz to 'count' seconds that then add-up to minutes and hours. The control panel 'monitor' is set to a 2 hz refresh rate.

Yes the difference sure is the time zone. The JavaScript code takes your system time and compares it with the future time, so the result will always be the date and time of your current destination. To compensate you have to add or subtract the offset hours to the country or timezone you want to have.

Even if you compare different online counters for that election date they often show different values. Some code takes the time of the server location, other take your system time and other have fixed the time for that certain timezone they want the countdown for.
