HI, is there anyway to make a timer in the HUD display decimal time? For example 1.45seconds or 10.29seconds.

    how?
  • wouterwouter Member Posts: 174
    make a attribute (decimaltimer) in game (game.decimaltimer), this must be a real attribute.
    make a timer:
    every 0.01 seconds change attribute game.decimaltimer to game.decimaltimer+0.01

    display text: game.decimaltimer

    only gamesalad isn't that fast, so you have to try for example every 0.05 seconds game.decimaltimer+0.05;)

    thanks i'll try that and let you know if it works.

    it doesn't work, can you give me some more information? i have made the attribute and the actor and the display text behaviour. Also I have the timer: every 1 second. change attribute .... to ....+1. The .... are the real attribute
  • wouterwouter Member Posts: 174
    yeah and then in the display text behaviour: game.(... (you're real attribute)) and you must have that actor on the screen and voila? don't see what's the problem?

    every 0.1 seconds

    change attribute to attribute+0.1

    not +1

    i made it every 1 second: change attribute to attribute+1 and it still doesn't work
  • JohnPapiomitisJohnPapiomitis Member Posts: 6,256
    yeah its not gonna work like that. Your adding 1 every 1 second, so how would there be a decimal lol. Itll just go from 1,2,3,4 and so on every second

    if you want it to add every 1 seconds then every 1 second change attribute to attirubte +0.1

    you have to make it a decimal for it to be a deciaml

    as long as its a real attriubte add your adding 0.1 it WILL work
