Implementing a time-based scoring system

Hi, I'm looking to implement a time-based scoring system for a project of mine. As such, once the player starts a level, a timer starts counting from 0 in the "00:00:00" (mm: ss: milliseconds) format. Once the player completes a level, this timer get's stopped.

Can someone guide me on how I can implement this type of a system?

Thanks for the response, greatly appreciate it :)

Just had the opportunity to try it out. I included the milliseconds part as you suggested. Though most of it seems to be working fine, I find the timing to be a little slow. Can you guide me on how I can fix this? Following is a screenshot of my events for your reference.

I think I fixed it sort of. Rather than keeping MSPassed ≥ 99, I set it to 60. if you believe there is a better way I can incorporate this, I would love to hear it from you. Thanks once again for your support.

Sami424, sorry to bother you again. I'm facing another issue. As such, I would like to set up the game in such a way where, once the player completes a level, I would like the timer to stop to that point and then display this time on a menu. Any thoughts on how I can do this? you mentioned earlier that this can be achieved with the help of saving the minutes&sec variable to an array. Apologies, as someone who is just getting started in game development, I have no clue how to do this. hope you would be able to help me with this. Thanks for your time.

Create a Global Boolean: TimerActive = True

Add the Event is TimerActive = True as part of the Every 0.001seconds event

(this should have no effect of the game)

Whenever the player finish the game then set an action: TimerActive = False

This will stop your timer from ticking.

You can then do what you need with the numbers you have stored in MSPassed, SecPassed, and MinutesPassed

Just tried it out, It doesn't seem to work :(

Not too sure what I'm doing wrong. Following is a screenshot of my events. Please note that I have set up events in such a way where, when the player object collides with a particular object/ sprite, it loads to the next level. hope you would be able to guide me on this.

This should help :)

Works like a charm!! :D

thanks a lot.

you are a lifesaver :)

I'm just trying to wrap my brain around how exactly the logic behind this is working. The way it works feels like magic to me!
