How do I Make timer ?

Hi,

I am facing an issue with the timer. I added all timer related code. I am using EVERY X SECONDS event. The problem is when the window screen is in normal then the timer running correctly. When we use full screen(Browser) then the timer is slow. I dont know the exact reason why it is behaving like this.

Can someone help to get out of this timer issue?

Thank you.

The most common way to make a timer is to use unixtime which is built into Construct 3. Unixtime is in milliseconds so you will need to break it down to seconds (/1000).

You will want to set your Timer to unixtime + the amount of time you countdown will be.

Then just show the text with the difference - Every tick (You can change this to every second or 0.5 seconds if you need to save on performance. But I have never bumped into an issue with every tick on all my timers)

Note of Caution:

Unixtime is loaded from the users computer. This means they can go in and edit their time and it will change the games unixtime.

Check back in about 11 hours:

I plan on making a video on this tonight after work. I will walk developers through creating a timer and displaying the timer in different way for their users.

Took a bit longer than I expected. If you are still struggling with timers this will walk you through it all :)
