Make sure you check the CookBook first ;-)

Good luck!

seen it before, it wont work when your using attributes for me ? and its a countdown not a timer

5 thousandths of a second...are you sure?

edit: sorry.. you want to count down from five seconds

Rob2

5-floor( game.Time %10)..":"..(floor( game.Time *10)%10)..floor(floor( game.Time *100)%10)

does the displaying but that will go all negative on you so....

(the last column is hundredths, not milliseconds by the way)

THANK YOU thats very helpful

Rob2

scratch that the hundredths and tenths are going in the wrong direction of course (I thought that was too easy

Rob2

much better...!! do a display text of

5-self.time

(doh)

edit: I'm loosing the plot ! that obviously works nicelyish on scene launch but at other times in your game you would need to grab self.time add 5 to it and then subtract self time from that.
