Reward Ad countdown timer help... [SOLVED]

[HeathClose]

so i've done some searching on the forums and see there are some threads about a timer but I can't seem to find any that explain how to simply countdown 5 mintues... that's all I want to do... I want to show a little 5 minute timer on the ad button for coins and I can't seem to figure it out...

I thought one way would be "get system date time"... add 5 minutes to it... use "get time span between dates" ... actually... just typing it out doesn't even make sense anymore how I was thinking of doing it.. there doesn't seem to be an action anywhere for time conversion...

I see there is an action that dino made called "countdown timer" but I'm not sure how to turn a float into a mm:ss string... i can see the float string.. but 5 minutes in a float just looks silly...

i didn't realize there was a convert seconds to string action with a thread explaining this... I was searching for time and time only...

Hi,

You can use "Convert Seconds To String"
and you can check this topic out how it works

I was just typing this but you found it already.

anyway you can stil check this topic out how it works

Yeah, it's quite simple to set up. I use the action for a stopwatch in my game to check on level lengths. Countdown timer is set the same way, you just set your time variable to the time you want it to countdown from and adjust the format.
