In-game timer/coutndown

Hi,

I’m trying to make the timer countdown from 10:00 to 0:00. I have got some Python script for the timer that shows up in-game, I have also done the UV text mapping thing.

The text is stuck at 9:59, even though it is connected to the timer, its like its not looping or something. Here is the blend file as I think I’m failing in trying to explain myself:

Hello my friend.

I made a simple only logic brick example. You can transfer it to Python if you want. That would be quite easy as well.

Hi there,

Thanks for your blend but I need to display the timer so it shows up during game-play like a count down, preferably with Python. Do you know a way of displaying the text in 0:00 format? I followed this tutorial but for some reason the text wont change for me:

Thanks for your help

Oh! Sorry about that. I miss read your problem.

You need string formatting.

It would basically look like this:

time = "%.2i : %.2i"%(minutes, seconds)

Read the link I gave you for more info.

%.2i means that you will get a string with a length of two in an integer form.

Hope it helps.

Hi again!

Okay, I was just about to post my blend file which still was not working but then I played around a bit more and now it works!

The problem was that I did not have it on PULSE MODE. I’m such a n00b.

Thanks a lot for your help, again!
