Title: How Do I Add A Countdown?[SOLVED]
Post by: Regaltwo on April 25, 2017, 03:24:14 AM

I need to add a countdown to my game so the scoring stops after 30 seconds. The game would stop and the player would click play again with the score reset to zero.

I tried this but it didn't work.

In fact, it seemed to crash Playmaker, so I had to remove the script. I should say the reason I got Playmaker was that I wanted to avoid scripting, about which I know nothing. Any help appreciated.

There is an action on the ecosystem called timer or countdown timer. I forget which one. You can download the ecosystem add on here. https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181

It allows you to search for all kinds of more actions to download for playmaker from inside of unity in the playmaker top menu.

this doesn't help with the 00:00:00 format

My issue is how to reset the mins or secs into 59 after 00?

They go to -01, it's simple subtracting -1 from a countdown timer.

It's difficult doing it with the HH:mm:ss format.

Hi.
Have you tried 'Convert Seconds To String'  action.
