Your timer is not accurate, you have a cumulative error when you use <Ever 0.01 seconds>. You must use <Every tick> and dt *1000.

So you are saying that the Every X seconds events are not using an accurate timer? Because 0.1 seconds is 100 milliseconds which is what I was subtracting from the time (which was in milliseconds).

Use a compare variables less than 0 expression, like I did in the first capx.

I did the same thing in your chapter

Comparable Variable Greater Than "currentscore" 0 and stops at the -1 or -2

gumshoe2029 Try my program and compare the 2 timers with a real clock, you will see the difference.

Yea, I am going to fiddle with that, because we are presently using the Every X Seconds event for temporary time keeping in our game. It refreshes every time the player switches layouts with accurate server time, but I don't want the clock to drift too wildly.

It's like the old saying: "A man with one clock always knows what time it is; but a man with two clocks has no clue."
