Okay, I have made an actor for the timer, but 1) How do you get it to show the time on the actor, I have set the command timer to 5 minutes, or 300000 ms. 2) How do you get the timer to count down from the start of the game? I can disable any events after the timer stops, but 3) How do you get the actors to not move until the timer starts? Thanks for any help!

Look the Digital Clock demo (http://game-editor.com/games/digital_clock.zip)

How do you get the timer to count down from the start of the game?

- Create the timer in a "Create Actor" event
- Create a variable to make the count down and set hte inictial value in a "Create Actor" event
- In the Timer event decrease the variable count

How do you get the actors to not move until the timer starts?

Can you explain better what you need?

Okay, I am making a multiplayer game based on this video game at the Seattle Gameworks, and I want to figure out how to "freeze" all of the players until the timer starts, then freeze them again after the timer expires.
