How to make a colon-separated timer (Difficulty: )

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use game overlays to display text, and use math to turn numbers to time-form. What you will need: [g1] 1x Property 1x Repeater 1x Trigger 1x Counter 1x Game Overlay And of course, something to start the timer! I used a button for this. The first device we need to edit is the property. Set the name to timer, set the type to number, the default value to the amount of time you want the timer to last, and the scope to global [g2] Next, Let’s edit the…

How to create a timer in Gimkit

So, uhh, lets use some pretty basic tech here guys, so let’s get started.

Devices/Props

What you will need: 4 Triggers A Lifecycle Counter or whatever respawning prop… Maybe? (I will be using a counter)

First, place down your Lifecycle. Make it transmit on a channel if you want, but otherwise you don’t need to do anything [Screenshot 2023-11-09 7.55.46 PM] Second, place down three triggers. Click on one of your triggers and set time to whatever you want. Also, for your first trigger,…

Why don’t you search it up?

[WhereIsMyHat]

Always search before posting!

(FA ) Always search before asking help!

In my week here I’ve seen so many people post on help, get one link, and mark a solution. You can just search on the search bar, and there is a 90% chance that someone has a guide on it. There are a lot of really helpful guides and solutions to other helps that this applies to. And even if it is unsolved, don’t ask again, unless gimkit underwent an update. Even if it doesn’t pop up the first time, search again. Change the keywords. Instead of “talk”, say “speak” and things like that. And as t…

Please try to use a kinder tone. You might get flagged if you sound disrespectful.

[Gizmo2.0]

ok thank you all for helping!

[Trasch]

Maybe we should use emojis to let each other know that we aren’t trying to be rude?
I honestly didn’t mean to make it sound like that.
What if someone misinterpreted your post too?

[WhereIsMyHat]

I know. I’m just saying that misinterpretations are common, so you just have to try to sound friendly.

[Gizmo2.0]

so I did both tutorials but they both were ticking up. Do any of you know how to make it tick down like 3.2.1 something like that?

[CassiusDoomlorde]

Do you just need a timer for the whole game? If so, that can be done in the game settings.

[Gizmo2.0]

no just in one area… all the player gather there then after the timer counts down to 0 they teleport somewhere.

[WolfTechnology]

yeah game settings has over timer, and you can make a timer to trake things and make functions happen at certain times, via your own not settings.

[WolfTechnology]

That can be done without a timer.

[Gizmo2.0]

its like an event after the counter sets to 0 the players teleport somewhere.

[WolfTechnology]

Ok, that is very simple.

[CassiusDoomlorde]

Just use a wire repeater to delay the teleporting! [mark wolf’s post as the solution, not mine.]

[WolfTechnology]

Just place a teleporter, trigger, zone and counter. place the zone and make its activate channel “start” and place the counter to a certain amount of players needed to start. Then use the “start” channel on the counter for when the zone gets activated. Then place the trigger and wire it to the counter for when number reached trigger delay starts. And you can set the seconds on the trigger to how long you want, then place the teleporter on you main map, and wire the trigger to it so when trigger time complete, teleport players.

[WolfTechnology]

That would work too.

ok thank you wolf tec !
