How do I make a time counter ?

Hi,

I try to make a time counter for my game : at the beginning of the game, it starts from 0, and when the game is finish, it stops.

I found some information in this tutorial : https://www.construct.net/en/tutorials/introduction-time-timer-421

My solution :

On start of layer, set a global variable "gGameTime" to 0

Every 1 second, and while the game isn't finish, add 1 to the variable "gGameTime", and display the time in a text box

It works, but I don't know if it's optimal or if there's a better way to do it.

Thanks for answers

That's how you do it because it's using real seconds. You could make use of the Timer behaviour too but that way is fine.

ok, thanks.

I don't know how to use timer behavior for my purpose. It has to be set on a sprite...
