Timer question

Why doesn't the following work?

give actor custom attribute of mytimer (real)

change attribution mytimer to self.time

display text self.mytimer

All I get is 0 and no change

but if I just do...

display text self.mytimer it displays

It seems like display text constantly updates but when I do a change attribute it's a one time stamp unless it's inside a rule. However, I've nested inside rules that are always true and I can't get it to update. Still tinkering but not sure what I'm missing...

    Try CONSTRAIN instead of CHANGE.

    The constrain attribute constantly checks for something or constantly does something. Change is more of a one time or one trigger type event.
