How do I pause/restart a timer object (regular)

I've tried every workaround that I can think of and nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated!

If time scale is set to 0, the timer object pauses, but when timescale is set back to 1 (or reset to whatever it was originally on) the timer object starts over. That doesn't seem right. Anyone else have this issue or am I missing something?

— thanks for the link but I can't get the plugin to work. I keep getting an error on opening C2, even with the dependent plugins properly loaded.

There has to be a way for the default timer to not restart itself though, right?

Burvey rexs timer plugin has a dependency plugin that needs to be installed as well to work: http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/rex_timeline.html

Without in-built pause/restart you could alway save the current time in a variable then start the timer again with the original target time minus that variables current time.

— like I said, I have rex_timeline installed already and I still get an error unfortunately. I wish I could get it to work because his timer would be quite useful.

Here is the error I'm getting:

Unable to load plugin in 'C:\Program Files\construct2\exporters\html5\plugin\rex_timer\': Found 'GetPluginSettings' global, but it is not a function

This plugin will not be available in the editor.

Saving the time in a variable and restarting the timer was the first thing I tried. It didn't work.

Burvey ah, maybe you could just roll your own timers using this tutorial?

— haha, we think alike. That's what I ended up doing (making my own timer). Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
