How do I create a countdown timer with minutes and seconds

Hello!

I've checked some countdown timer topics here on the forums but most of them work only with seconds. I would like to create a 10-minute countdown timer on the screen that shows both minutes and seconds, but I really don't know how, besides using a global variable and adding 1 second at a time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's pretty much it. Use the Timer behaviour to count seconds. Start your counter at 600, subtract 1 every second, display int(Counter/60) & ":" & zeropad(Counter%60, 2)

Time is easier to handle in seconds.

Here is one of the better example capx found in forums.

24 hours is 86400 sec

10 min is 600 sec

edit: ninja'd lol

By 480 seconds!

:D By 480 seconds!

Yip - 8min delay - strange hey? It also didn't give me warning that someone had responded. I did take awhile to submit as I actually forgot to hit the button

Thank you! It's working perfectly.
