GameMaker How To Make a Count Down Timer

Good stuff.  What is the syntax for stopping the game and displaying the Score?

When the timer reaches zero, how do I make it so the game returns to the main menu?

my question is the font??? how to do that?

 at gml_Object_noman_Step_0 (line 5) - if myTime > 0 {
############################################################################################

I have problems with the code: myTime=myTime-delta_time/1000000Is there any other way of doing it?

Well thanks for this simple and clean code it helps a lot.

I really need to learn code, The game maker standard drag and job causes problems and to fix them I have to find tricks that although work the same way its almost like i'm always doing it in an unconventional way and need to create waaaay too many objects that aren't visible to turn into the things I need them to at the right moment as opposed to only ONE object that acts individually for player 1 2 3 4 Instead i need to make different objects for each or they all will turn into the object meant for player 1 when it should be individual.

Thank you so much!

I have hints in my game that show a message when u hit the hint box. is there a way i can pause the time and play it again when i click on ok at the message?

how do i increase the rate at which the timer goes down?

Super useful, thanks a lot man !

i have an ask ,do we can put an else in an else? sorry i am new at this.

how do you make it show Minutes:Seconds.Centiseconds?

how do we make it so when it collides with a object the timer appears and starts to count down, and when its done, the timer disappear

how would i make something in which when the timer reaches 0 it resets the room?

how to restart the timer?

how do I do minutes (i.e 20 mins)

so how exactly does delta time work? if the game really started lagging for some reason, would the timer still countdown in real time, or would it lag too, along with the game?

I followed the tutorial and it worked perfectly. I am looking for a way to make an object that when it collides with the player object
it adds ten seconds to the timer. How would i do this?

So, first of all, I still didnt watch the entire video, so sorry if you explain this later, but how do I make the timer numbers bigger?

the delta time thing dosen't work

how can i play sound when myTime =0???

I'm assuming this doesn't work for GameMaker Lite

I followed the tutorial, but for some reason, instead of displaying "Time Left: " it shows "TL:" and doesnt display a countdown, I've checked through all the code and it is similar, could this be the font?

How do I continue my timer into another room? I already tried making it a persistent object

Is there a way to stop the timer?

Why doesn't mine show up? I placed the object in the room, did everything exactly the same as in here. But it doesn't draw it.

please help me. ( i know this has to do with nothing, but please help me anyways i really need help, someone ) when i walk into a wall, i can only move up and down, but that's now even all, i can only move up and down if i face to the right and not the left. if i face to the left i cant move. if i face to the right i can only move up and down. please help me someone i beg you

You're a blessing

Amazing! Thank you so much!

like for intro sounds :)

The idea works even in GameMaker Studio 2 !

It always shows Time left: 0 never does a count down! im using shitty lite version! here is what i have:

Create:
myTime=9.0
showTime=myTime

Step:
if myTime > 0 {
myTime=myTime=myTime-0.03 //-delta_time/1000000
//mytime=mytime-0.03
}
else{
myTime = 0
//make gameover stuff
}
showTime=ceil(myTime)

Draw:
draw_set_color(c_white)
draw_text(50,200,"Time left: " + string(showTime))

exactly what i was looking for. thanks!

YES! Thank you!!
