How do I pause timer when collide with object?

Hi, I am doing my game project and I have object that the player need to collide with to answer question. The thing is, my game have a timer and I want to pause the timer when the player collides with the object. I've tried to make the timer pause but it didn't work. May I know if anyone know how to pause it and play the timer again after clicking answer so that the player can continue playing?

Two ways to do this:

1. Use System->Set Time Scale=0 for the object with Timer. This will stop everything for this object.

2. Save timer remaining time in a variable (I believe it's object.Timer.Duration-object.Timer.TotalTime)

Then stop the timer. After player answered the question, start the timer again for the remaining time.

Oh, it works. Thank you!!😊

Hi, can I ask some more question? I tried the first way, it worked. The second way, I don't really understand how to do it. Can it be explained more on that?
