Display Timer?

Cowuniverse

I know I can display the in game timer, but I want to display the timer behavior counting down to zero. Thank you if you find out because this is needed for my game to work.

100 - game.time will count down from 100.

Yes, but will that work in the timer behavior. Because when it do that all it displays is 0

In your post you say you want to display a timer, so I have suggested something that you would display !

If you want to count down from 100 (or another number), create a real attribute called game.customTimer and set its value to 100. In a Timer set to every 0.1 seconds, change game.customTimer to game.customTimer - 0.1

Use a Display Text behavior to display game.customTimer. Use the roundTo() function to shorten the number of digits.

Thank you this has worked so far, but the only thing is I don't understand how the roundto function works.

You can select it from the math function drop-down menu or type it in. RoundTo() is explained in the cookbook, at the bottom of this page: https://help.gamesalad.com/hc/en-us/articles/202699556-1-11-Glossary.

Yeah I just had it count down a second at a time instead of .1 seconds
