Title: Countdown Timer in Minutes:Seconds [SOLVED]
Post by: MarkD on June 04, 2020, 05:50:14 PM

Hey folks, I need a count down timer in the form of minutes and seconds.  I was hoping to find one on the Ecosystem but unless I'm just failing at my search criteria, there doesn't seem to be one.

I can write an FSM to do it for me, but I was hoping for an action where I could just put in the minutes or seconds and it converts it for me into a string formatted by MM:SS.  Anyone know of anything out there that maybe I'm missing?

Hi.
There is a Countdown Timer i made on the Ecosystem.
Store the result.

To display the way you wish to, use 'Convert Seconds To String' and set the correct format.

Sorry to dredge this up but I've tried this, and I'm getting up to 99 seconds if I format the string as 00.00 ... how do I lock the string to work in blocks of 60 instead of decimals? Clocks/timers dont use decimals.

What use would that be? Dividing 100 seconds by 60, for example, wouldn't correctly turn it into 1m:40s it would give you 1.6666 minutes.. and thats not how clocks work.
