How do I countdown timer with a bar ?

Hi guys,

I am just interested, if anoyne created (sure somebody has done it) countdown timer with a bar, what was the concept?

In this capx I am using built in ProgressBar, Rex Plugin for timer, boolean to start changing text only after button is pressed. What can be done to improve ? Can "Every tick" be changed on something less overloading the system ?

The every tick event doesn't really 'overload the system' not unless you're doing some heavy stuff on it.

Maybe something like this?

thanks briggybros

so the key is "9patch.Width - dt*10"

so Date.Timer vs Delta time (both are frame independent, I believe )

by overloading I meant launching many different Date.Timers for every user.

Also workaround could be Every X secs instead "Every tick"

LabSimulator I would say that the every X seconds method would not be ideal as it would appear more jumpy.
