LibCandyBar and starting the bar at a given point

[kneeki]

I'd like to know if it's possible using LibCandyBar to say, start a bar with a total of 30 seconds, but start it at any given second point I like.

So something like:

bar:SetMaxDuration(maxDuration)
bar:SetDuration(format("%.2f", expires - GetTime()))

With LibCandyBar-3.0, you should be able to adjust the start time like this:

local Progress, Max = 10, 30; -- Start 10 seconds into the 30 second timer.
Bar:SetDuration( Max );
Bar:Start(); -- Must be started before you adjust "exp"
Bar.exp = Bar.exp - Progress;

-- Set the time left for a bar.
-- Args: name - the candybar name
--	   time - time left on the bar
-- returns true if succesful

CandyBar:SetTimeLeft(name,

could be what you're looking for.

[Edit]
Took that from 2.0. Don't know if 3.0 has a SetTimerLeft method.

I couldn't find one for 3.0. Seems like the only way to set it is by modifying that exp variable directly. One would think a method like that would be worth keeping in a bar library...

bar.exp is exactly what I needed, thanks!
