Template:tally time

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 01:59, 2 January 2025

This template is used for tallying total time in a group of toons.

Usage:

{{ tally time | countername | number_of_seconds }}

• where countername is the name of the counter being used. This parameter is required.
• and number_of_seconds is the number of total length of the toon in seconds.

The template will do two things with this information:

• The counter countername will be incremented by number_of_seconds seconds. This counter will then be used to keep track of the total number of seconds for all toons in the group.
• The value number_of_seconds will be converted to "hh:mm:ss" format using the {{format seconds}} template.

IMPORTANT:

Please be sure to first reset each counter to zero before making any calls to this template! The {{hresetcount}} template can facilitate this:

{{hresetcount | countername | v=1 | countby=1}}

• Note that the v=1 parameter is mandatory! According to the HRWiki:Counter documentation, the counter is set to the initial value minus the increment.
• Although optional, we use countby=1 to explicitly set the increment to 1 in order to reduce ambiguity. The critical part is that the counter is reset to 0, since the increment itself is never used directly by this template.
• Multiple counters may be initialized using the {{hresetcount}} template. See {{hcount}} for more information.

Example:

{{hresetcount|sample_tally|v=1|countby=1}}

* {{tally time|sample_tally|60}}
* {{tally time|sample_tally|33}}
* {{tally time|sample_tally|72}}
* {{tally time|sample_tally|192}}

* Total time: {{#count:sample_tally|0}} seconds / {{format seconds|{{#count:sample_tally|0}}}}

• 150060 _60 1:00 1
• 150033 _93 0:33 2
• 150072 _165 1:12 3
• 150192 _357 3:12 4

• Total time: 0 seconds / 0:00
