How do I toggle and start timer?

Hi,

I tried combining the toggle tutorial with a button that sets variable-countdown - 9 similar to the Timer tutorial.

However, each time I toggle & set variable -countdown to 9, the variable will remain at 9 but not starting the timer.

Any suggestions on where my logic is not right?

If you would provide a link to your project instead of the tutorials we might see where you went wrong..

Right now it's impossible to see your logic..

Sorry. Here's the screenshot.

It works in this simple example above.

However, in my capx, I have 2 additional global variables -

upon touched Pause,

Playing - 1

Lives > 0

Not sure if thats the reason it doesnt work. I have tried disabling the 2 variables above but somehow its not working.

I don't get it..

You want us to help with something that doesn't work, so you show us something that does?
