how can I make this timer logic as easy as possible???

Hello, I would like to create a 125 second countdown that starts from the beginning of the scene, when the countdown is over, when an enemy touches me it's -5 second and when I touch an enemy it's +5 seconds, which is subtracted and added to the countdown time, how I could do this as simply as possible by being a noob, thanks in advance for your help.

"when an enemy touches me it's -5 second and when I touch an enemy it's +5 seconds, "

Isn't that the same thing? How do you know if you touch an enemy Vs the enemy touches you? You're touching each other in both cases.

How about something like this to get you going?

Thanks for this example, I'll do as you said, I was thinking about using the timer behavior with the players, isn't that better? I didn't think we should use variables

For global game timers you should probably always use global variables.

Just set two variables; GameStartTime and GameTime

Then on start of layout set GameStartTime to System.time

and from then on every tick calculate GameTime = System.time - GameStartTime

If you are counting down from 125 seconds, then GameTime would be 125 - ( System.time - GameStartTime ) and you get a countdown from 125 to 0.

Now to add or deduct 5 seconds, you can use another variable instead of 125, set it to 125 and then add or subtract 5 as needed from that, or you could +- GameStartTime variable as well and keep the calculation the same 125 - ( System.time - GameStartTime )

Okay, thank you very much to both of you, you helped me a lot.

to help, why the timer instead of counting from 125, adds time, the countdown does, 0,1,2...... instead of 125,124,123.... How could I do so that it subtracted from 125 and not added. Thank you in advance for your great help.

I am looking for but I can't make a count, I put in the logic of subtracting, I don't understand why it is, 0,1,2,3... instead of 125,124,123,122....... I'm lost. I'm lost.

Event 10 Action 4 - you set GameStartTime to 0.

Thank you very much, I didn't pay attention.
