How do I use the clock template to make a timer

benkhun21 · April 2012

I need it to save the device timer once ( timestamp) , get a new time one min later, get the difference between the two numbers. and reset itself so it can do it 1 min later. ( this this where my problem is I think ) . any help is appreciated

when you ask for a new time one minute later … the difference will be one minute

are you using the time to trigger an event?

actorAttribute: self.myTime … real type
1st behavior: changeAttribute: self.myTime To: self.Time

Rule: when
attribute: self.Time ≥ self.myTime+60
-do this or that
-changeAttribute: self.myTime To: self.Time

"≥" because computerTime ticks in milliseconds … "+60" for 60sec/1 minute

this demo uses selfTime and myTime to trigger spawns:

if you want a button touch to start the Time count action: have touch spawn a controlActor with the above rules/behaviors
