Scoreboard System:

VERY BASIC SCOREBOARD SYSTEM:
This is a very basic scoreboard system that only has 1 button: Start Game Clock. I will probably advance the scoreboard system and scoreboard and update this section here, if I have the time.
- Click on the purple + button (Keyboard Shortcut: E), click on “Devices”, click on “Repeater”, and place it anywhere on the map.
- Adjust the settings on the Repeater:
Note: You can adjust the time to as high or low as you want in “Time to Run”. - Wire the repeater to the counter (game clock) and make sure the wire settings are set like this:
Repeater runs task > Decrement counter - Click on the purple + button (Keyboard Shortcut: E), click on “Devices”, click on “Button”, and place one anywhere on the map.
- Adjust the settings on the button:
