You can use this formula for your time format:

TimeFormat = floor(Timer/60 % 60) & ":" & floor(Timer % 60)

So would I put tthis in the text? like

On Function Set Question

Set Timer text to:floor(Timer/60 % 60) & ":" & floor(Timer % 60)

?

Yes, it is correct.

But you need to bring it out side the function if you want to display it every second.

So this is what

I've done.

On function setQuestion

Start Timer(behaviour) "Q" for 0.0

Set Text to: floor(Timer/60 % 60) & ":" & floor(Timer % 60)&(Timer.Timer.CurrentTime("Q"))

On function checkQuestion

Stop Timer.

When the layout starts the setQuestion function begins, and when you press submit the checkquestion function begins. But right now My text "timer" get stuck at 0:00

Thanks!. I tried doing

On touch pausebutton pause timer.

and on function checkQuestion Stop Timer.

It didn't pause or stop and the text went back to seconds (i.e 5, 10, 20) and didn't pause or stop.
