Clock running down

GuaveMedia

I programmed a clock, with display text, like the tutorial of tshirtbooth, but is there a chance to make the time running down ? Like from 10 seconds to zero? Now the clock is running "up"...

I didn't find any information about that....

Thanks

You might have to change the numbers to negative numbers, but idk if that will work..

GuaveMedia

I am gonna try it...thank you

GuaveMedia

Thanks tshirtbooth but then the time get's shown up jsut every second.

I did it like your tutorial, just with seconds and miliseconds, but with the long
expression floor......the time is running "up"

Isn't there a way to make it just running down?

GuaveMedia

And how also to reset time?

I tried to use the current scene time but did not work. Concerning when pressing a button
to reset scene.

thx

Okay Update, I did it this way,

I made an actor and an Attribute (index 10). And in my actor I said constrain attribute to self.timer

Works fine but ist here a way to display it in hundredth of seconds?

Rumi

There is a way. Create an attribute that is a real type. set it to 10 and create a rule: Interpolate attribute to 0 in 10 seconds. Then have it display that real attribute.

GuaveMedia

Problem is that it again displays time in thousand of seconds /

Rumi

Use the floor or ceil function. in the display text, open up the expression editor and type ceil(game.attribute) Ceil rounds up to the nearest whole while floor rounds down

GuaveMedia

Ah perfect just one additional question, now time is displayed in whole numbers, possible to do it in hundredth??

Just a question, what am I doing wrong when I have a reset button, and I press this button I want the scene to be reseted. So I said when touch is pressed reset scene and change attribute time to 10 again...But then time is just set to 0, and when I press the button again, it start's to run again ??

why that?
