I have this ui and in it there is a clock that displays the current in game time. I need this to refresh every 4.5 seconds. I did that by adding a timer to excecute the updateui function. However as the ui has pictures, when it refreshes every 4.5 seconds, the pictures lag the ui. I want to make it so just the clock text (paneltime) updates, but I have no clue how to go about it. Can anybody help me?

Instead of giving the clock panel a guid, give it a unique name like "MyUniqueUI.BradleyClock". When you want to update just the clock, destroy and recreate just the clock panel by name.

void OnServerInitialized()
        {
            timer.Every(4.5f, () =>
            {
                UpdateTime();
                foreach(BasePlayer player in BasePlayer.activePlayerList)
                {
                    CuiHelper.DestroyUi(player, "clock.time");
                    CuiHelper.AddUi(player, "clock.time");
                }
            });
        }

var paneltime = new CuiElement
            {
                
                Name = "clock.time",
                Parent = panel,
                Components =
                {
                    new CuiTextComponent{Text = time, Color = "1 1 1 1", FontSize = 10, Align = TextAnchor.MiddleCenter},
                    new CuiRectTransformComponent{AnchorMin = "0.2 0.70", AnchorMax = "1 1"},
                }
            };

            container.Add(paneltime);

I did this and it doesnt work, the time doesn't show up on the ui anymore. What did I do wrong?

The way I've done it before is to create a new CuiElementContainer each time, add the element to it, then send that with CuiHelper.AddUi(player, container).

I can't get that to work either, thanks for your help though.

Nevermind, I made a new container for the images and then added them on at a different time, that worked fine. Thanks again for your help.
