Trouble resetting my scene

Hey guys having a bit of trouble resetting a scene I have for a "time attack" mode....

To display the game clock, I set up a game "start time" real attribute. To display the time in the actual time attack mode I have an actor displaying game.time-game.start time. So the whole mode ending is dependent on when game.time=60 it spawns an actor showing your score and then I have a retry button. However, I cant seem to get it to reset correctly. A few things I have tried....when "retry" actor is touched:

change att. game.time=0

No dice there.

Then I tried a simple reset scene, but that didnt work either.

It seems I cant get my game time within time attack to reset again back to 0 for another round.

Any input is appreciated as always.

    You will have to make your own timer attribute. Game.time is a running total for when the app is running.

    Yea I know that's what game.time does..guess I will have to make game dependent on ending by some other means. Tenrdrmer do you have a way that you display a timer for just an individual scene that is easy to mess with?

    You can just make your own timer attribute like
    game.leveltimer

    And then when you want the timer to start set a timer behavior for
    Every 1 second
    Change attribute game.leveltimer to game.leveltimer+1

    if you want tenths of a second also you would use

    Every 0.1 seconds
    Change Attribute game.leveltimer to game.leveltimer+0.1

    Then use you display text or custom fonts exactly like you would any other timer.

    If you want to do a timer, you can use two REAL attributes.

    When the scene starts (or when you want the timer to start) you can do a change attribute game.StartTime to game.time. Then when the scene is over or the level is over or whatever, do a change attribute game.EndTime to game.time.

    Then a simple game.EndTime - game.StartTime will give you the time the level took the player.

    Does this help you?
