JASS timer dialog seems vital for TD

[basxto]

For maps with timers and wave these seem vital:

• CreateTimer
• StartTimerBJ
• PauseTimerBJ
• TimerGetRemaining
• TimerGetElapsed
• TriggerRegisterTimerExpireEventBJ
• CreateTimerDialogBJ
• TimerDialogDisplayBJ
• TimerDialogSetTitleBJ

Edit: It’s of course about https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/simple-tower-defense-v3.80868/ like always.
I got a workaround to show lives and waves via messages. But I don’t see a good way to replace the count down.

Edit2: Only the TimerDialog stuff is miss, otherwise it wouldn’t work at all. There seems to already be some core/src/com/etheller/warsmash/viewer5/handlers/w3x/ui/dialog/CTimerDialog.java

It seems to be implemented:

	@Override
	public CTimerDialog createTimerDialog(final CTimer timer) {
		final UIFrame timerDialog = this.rootFrame.createFrame("TimerDialog", this.rootFrame, 0, 0);
		final StringFrame valueFrame = (StringFrame) this.rootFrame.getFrameByName("TimeDialogValue", 0);
		final StringFrame titleFrame = (StringFrame) this.rootFrame.getFrameByName("TimerDialogTitle", 0);
		return new CTimerDialog(timer, timerDialog, valueFrame, titleFrame);
	}

			jassProgramVisitor.getJassNativeManager().createNative("CreateTimerDialog",
					(arguments, globalScope, triggerScope) -> {
						final CTimer timer = nullable(arguments, 0, ObjectJassValueVisitor.getInstance());
						return new HandleJassValue(timerdialogType, meleeUI.createTimerDialog(timer));
					});

but the implementation of TimerDialogDisplay and TimerDialogSetTitle are missing. Not sure if it is shown by default or not. I implemented the missing natives in my pull request #101.

The BJ functions do not have to be implemented by Warsmash but are all in the Blizzard.j file and use common.j natives.
