How to make an accurate timer

[chrysostom]

I think in your case tho, you don’t need to have such an accurate one

[WolfTechnology]

There should be a guide on this. Just search in game timer in the search bar.

[Kormorant]

Yes but none of them have the thing he is looking for.

[Kormorant]

So currently, I am almost done a guide on it.

You just update a property using a counter with a target value of 0 and starting value of 30. A trigger loop decrements the counter every trigger of one of the triggers. Then broadcast on a channel that updates the text via blocks. The block code would be:
Set text, get property, “[the property goes here]”

What you will need

x1 trigger x1 counter x1 property x1 textbox x1 button or lifecycle and be prepared for some blocks!

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 del…

Nope just checking in.

[TrainGuy53]

isn’t @roddy using the text as a timer?

[Kormorant]

WDYM, TrainGuy53?

[TrainGuy53]

since roddy is using the idea from ultimate hide and seek tag, the timer is used with a text device, so, i’m asking if roddy wants to use the text device as the timer, or a counter

[Kormorant]

That’s what I do in the guide, though.

[TrainGuy53]

ok never mind what is said then
