Code: Select all
useage = 0;

did you wait 25 seconds?
(that is how long 25000 MS is.)
I do not know what the problem could be,
exept if you had the timer event created for one actor and you activated it with the wrong actor. :(

have a text actor that has this code on its draw actor event,

Code: Select all
textNumber = usage;

:)
if you are still having problems tell me what the timer options/settings are or just send me the .ged and data. :D

also,
if you have not set usage to a different value,
usage will still be 0. :(
