Hi all. Thanks again to Fizzlemizz, without him I couldn't do anything.
Data:
There are 4 events (A, B, C and D) and they go cyclically and endlessly (example: A, B, C, D, A, B, C, D, A, B, C and D)
The interval between all events is 1 hour (example Between event A and event B is 1 hour, between event B and event C is one hour, between event C and event D is 1 hour).
Events always last 5 minutes.
What is needed: For the event to be displayed correctly (where starttime = 1679572800, this is the start of event A).
For example, if I enter the game 3 hours 30 minutes after the start of event A, it will show me that event D will begin soon.

I tried to do it myself based on the given code and WA
Lua Code:
function(states, event, ...)
if event ~= "VOZ_TREASURE_GOBLIN_EVENT" and event ~= "STATUS" and event ~= "OPTIONS" then
return false
end

local region_start_timestamp = region_timers[GetCurrentRegion()]
if region_start_timestamp then

local next_event = interval - start_timestamp % interval
local spawning = interval - next_event < duration
local remaining = duration - (interval - next_event)
local offset = not spawning and interval or 0
local rotation_index = math.floor((start_timestamp + offset) / interval % 20)
local zone = C_Map.GetMapInfo(zone_rotation[rotation_index]).name
states[""] = {

Here's what I got. But this option works with an error (For testing I used an interval of 1 minute).

Second question
how can I make a button to hide the timer on command?
Lua Code:
SLASH_HUBB1 = "/hubb"
SlashCmdList["HUBB"] = function(msg)
if strupper(strtrim(msg)) == "BTN" then -- toggle the shown state of the button if the type /hubb btn
btn:SetShown(not btn:IsShown()) -- show the button
return
end
updateData()
updateList()
f:Show()
end
Switch to Linear Mode
Switch to Hybrid Mode
Threaded Mode
