It would be a lot easier if you showed it your broken timer :icon_wink

yeah we cant help without the code...

**youresam** · 10-22-2005, 01:03 PM

The codes for timers in lua are:
well, an example, I guess...

timer1 = Timer.new(0) --this means make the object 'timer1' a timer and start at 0 milliseconds

timer1:start() --start counting

timer1:time() -- the time of the timer in milliseconds

timer1:stop() --stops the timer

timer1:reset(0) --reset the timer, and start at 0 milliseconds

I think thats about it.
Hope this helps!

You dont have to post all of your code just your timer and maybe ur vars

**youresam** · 10-22-2005, 01:11 PM

to display the time from the timer, you would use something like:
screen:print(0,0,timer1:t ime())

or, an if statement:

if timer1:time() == 60 then
timer1:reset(0)
end

I dunno if that will help, but if you could be a little more specific on what you are trying to do, that would be great.
