Help With Text Counter With properties

[kirbyking]

So In Games, i have seen text that count upwards or downwards, with just one text device, not multiple but just one.
Is this done with a property or some sort?
Or if anyone has a guide I would appreciate it.

Yes, you can set text to show the value of a property using block code.

How?

Use a property “number” tracked by a text in block code option, and make the counter update on the property, make the counter decrease/increase using trigger loop.

How to create a timer, the Kormorantian way!

Hey, @Kormorant here! I decided to make this guide because I did not see any guides on this way of making a timer! What you will need First, get a button or a lifecycle, depending on when you want the timer to start. (lifecycle for start of game, button for when you do it yourself). Next, get a counter and a trigger. Set them both to not be visible in game, and set the trigger to have a delay of 1.0. For each of the trigger’s channels on the featured page, set them to “triggered”. [image] …

One more question…
How do you make a variabl or a property appear in a game overlay

[VALUEX]

Use block code. There’s a specific block that says ‘set text’ and then have it set the text to your property(get property ‘name’) or variable.

Go to overlay block code option, and place down [get property]-[property^[1]].

(oop valuex've already posted it lol)

@kirbyking check prodigy forums, I can help you there with better explanations (I can’t provide images right now)

Umm Froyo… I can’t see the images of the block code ._.

Just use the set text block and a get property block.
If you want this to change constantly make sure you have a loop that is connected to the text device.
