Hey users! This is how to create countdown timers.
Creating User Interface
To start, add a "UI" layer. To make objects in this layer "float" set the properties scale rate and parallax to 0.
Adding a global variable
It is easy! Add a variable named Timer. Set value to any number (60 for me) and click the OK button.
Exception:Do not place 0.
Adding an object
To see the timer, add a text object and place it in the topmost layer.
Text must be set to Time.
Events: Adding event
To make it work, add en event.
Condition:
System>Every Tick
Actions:
System>Subtract from(Subtract dt from Timer)
Text>Set text(Set text to Timer)
Another condition:
System>Compare to variable(Timer=0)
Another action:
System>Restart layout
Testing
Run the game. Do you see it work?
