    create an actor. set its colour alpha to zero, add a display text behaviour, press the 'e' tag to bring up expressions editor panel, go> game>time then press the tick. set the colour, font and size of text you want, and place the actor in the scene. Make sure its not under another object.

    hope that helps

    @qewr what time are you trying to display? the time of an actor, current time (which is impossible to display in GS), or a custom time using timers?

    Just an integer that goes up by 1 every second u know, its crazy complicated you have to floor it like nine times lol

    Doesnt a simple display text behaviour do the job?

    create an actor, set alpha to 0
    add Display text behaviour - open the expression editor (press the small e on the right) - find your attribute under the Game section.
