Timer and pause game

patapple

hi,

i create my timer with this tutorial and it works fine:

but now my problem is, when i pause game i see the timer stops, but when i unpause game, the timer is not correct (the time is less than it should be)

how can i fix it???
thanks

as TSB said … this method resets the myTimer for every scene …

if you just want to track/limit the total time the player has to play:
you don't need the startTime and myTimer attributes

on your timePlayedActor (in addition to the displayText):
Rule: when
Attribute: game.Time = 1200 (that is 20 minutes of play x 60 seconds/minute) … suggest you try with = 10 first!
--game over stuff

How can you make it so it doesn't have hundredth or thousandths of a second?

in the second white square with down arrow in the expresionEditor: … the functions that you can use

floor … selecting this puts floor(x) in the editor
highlight and replace the x … with something else you select … don't replace the (  )
EX: floor(game.Time)
floor rounds down any number with-in the ( )
ceil rounds up any number with-in the ( )

in ExpEdit … you can also 1st select an element EX: game.Time … then type in the floor(  ) around it
do not forget the brackets ( ) …
