Your second example checks for when the actor is pressed and game.time = 0 (i.e. it doesn't check for 0 being pressed [for example, on a keyboard]).

Sorry, I failed to mention this is for the iPhone!
So you'd like to detect when the 'number' 0 is not pressed on an iPhone ?
Yes this is basically for the timer... if the stop button is pressed when the timer does not 0 then the game should end which it does. I want it to so that when 0 is pressed the normal protocol is proceeded with which is to just reset the timer

I don't understand any of that ! Sorry !
So you'd like the timer to reset when 0 is pressed ? Is that the basic question ?

Sorry for not being clear,
I have the rule set up, so that when the button is pushed when the timer is at 0, the timer is reset and an extra second is added to the timer. I want this to happen when the button is pushed at time 0 and not any time... Does this help?

Is the 'button' the same actor as 'the number 0' (i.e: "if the number 0 IS NOT pressed then. . . ") ? Or are they two separate actors ?
Is the 'timer' something you've made yourself or are you using the built in 'game.time' ?

Ok, I think I've got it (apologies for being a bit slow today, need more coffee).
You have a timer that counts down from 10 to -4.
If the player hits the Stop button when the timer is at 0 seconds (a 0.2 window of opportunity) they are rewarded with the timer being reset and an extra second* given ? So the timer will now run from 11 to -4 ?
Is that the basic set up ?
. . . . . .
*your code doesn't add an extra second, your code adds +1, the timer subtracting 1 from the remaining time every 0.2 seconds, therefore +1 will give you an extra 0.2 seconds rather than 1 second.

Yes exactly! However even when I hit it on the 0 it still ends the game! (Even at a slower time control)

Your code (first example) doesn't check for whether '0' is pressed, it checks for whether the actor is pressed and the game.time is not 0.
Your second example checks for when the actor is pressed and game.time = 0 (i.e. it doesn't check for 0 being pressed [for example, on a keyboard]).
The first rule will (pretty much) always fire.
The second rule will (pretty much) never fire.
Oh, so how can I fix this?
Thank you by the way!

Do you understand that?
Nevermind I got it!! Thank you!
Glad you sorted it out !
