hey does anybody know how to make a timer with minutes and seconds because im trying to make one with a timer but it is going wacko the timer is supposed to move the second textnum. but it is moveing the minute textnum TOO fast if it helps i'm using 2 text numbers. heres my code:

Code: Select all

if (second.textNumber=second.textNumber=60)
{
    minut.textNumber=minut.textNumber+1;
    second.textNumber=second.textNumber=00;
}


this is in draw actor of minute and my timer + 1 to the second textnum. but the stupid second textnum. doesn't move at all.
...any ideas?

Try this. Unfortanetly I don't know how to make a timer counting down, but try it anyway.

1.Make a second textNumber, a :, and a Minute textNumber, Make sure they're seperate.

2.Second,Create Actor, Create Timer, 1000 ms.

3.Second,Timer, (Your Timer's Name),Script Editor.

Code: Select all

Second.textNumber = Second.textNumber + 1;
if(Second.textNumber > 59)
{
     Minute.textNumber = Minute.textNumber + 1;
     Second.textNumber = 0;
}
//The next part is optional\\
if(Minute.textNumber > 3)
{
    PlaySound("Beep")
    DestroyActor("Second");
    DestroyActor(":")
    DestroyActor("Minute");
}


What this does is when the second = 59 Minute + 1 Second = 0.
After 3 minutes The timer gets destroyed and a beeping sound Occors.

I will make a quick demo if you don't understand.
