How do you make the timer into your score?

abester101

When the game is over (the player loses their lives), I want to go to a screen that shows how many seconds that they lasted for. When I try this, it shows that number of seconds but keeps counting. How do I show their score (seconds) without having the timer continue to count? Thanks.

You need to capture the time between the beginning of the game and the end of the game.

I made a demo that shows various ways of working with Time in GameSalad:

You will want to look at the section that deals with recording time between two events. That should get you started.
