Thanks buddy i think it is because my timer object is on the wrong layer! i wil have a look in a bit!

ok nope!! still going off screen :( philx

That i think is the answer!! i think the hud must be smaller than the background

Fantastic thanks for your help!! if i leave the timer off scroll to i wont be able to see it all the time surely?

Thats brilliant thank you very much!! im guessing instead of clicking the button i change it to Car-overlapping-finishline etc etc etc

thank you very much for putting it nice and easy for me :) yeh im very much up for doing things on my own soon only problem is at the moment it may aswell be in japanese at the moment! so im coming up with ideas and asking how to do them and hoping for the great help you guys are giving that way in future if i need to use them again i know how to if you know what i mean!

I have a hud now with the timer on, however at the start the car is out of screen shot until you drive forwards and then when i go to the right it goes out of screen shot again!! cant seem to keep the car on screen now!! it was fine until i added timer-scroll to-parralax 0,0 philx

oh and have sort of sorted the scroll to by adding the timer to a new layer!! however when the car is far right on the screen i cant see the car!!!

ok cheers mate!! any ideas on a lap counter?

That would be brilliant if you could buddy!1 Cheers mate all works now!! only difference is i wanted it counting up but managed that!! any ideas on saving the time to view when game over? and also cant manage to keep the text in top left of screen when moving around the screen? i thought it was scroll to??

cheers mate!! i will have a look now

Cheers — any chance you can give some more help on a timer?? i.e where to start? thanks

Sulli any new ideas?
