Timer

[LucasA33]

I want to make a timer, So That It starts at 5min and text counts down to zero, then My actor Gets destroyed.

[BlarghNRawr]

start the text actor at 500, then create a timer for one second, set repeat to forever.
when the timer finishes, make the text -1.
then actor destroyed when text = 0!

im not sure but i think its...
(text actor) Create actor -> ...ummmm
if(textactor = 0)
destroyactor... ur actor...
sumthing like that, u may need to ask sumone better at coding

Ok first its a WHOLE lot easier just to use a var.
First make a var don't change anything. We'll just call that timeV.
Now on the timer actors create actor,

Code: Select all

timeV = 500;

This will set the timer to 500 or you could set it to any time you want.

Now on draw actor of the timer,

Code: Select all

textNumber = timeV;

This will make you timer set its self to the var every frame.

Then create your timer set it to 1000 ms.

Then on the timer event,

Code: Select all

timeV = timeV - 1;
if(timeV == 0)
{
   DestroyTimer("YourTimer");
   DestroyActor("YourActor");
}


Good Luck!
