Hi there, I can't figure out how I can reduce time values in counters. I've looked over the tutorial on the forum and I lnow how to add seconds. So I have 10 mins and 30 sec, and what I need to do is that every 1 second reduce 1 second from the time value till it goes to 0 but I can't figure how exactly.

what are you trying to achieve? What is the goal?

Well, I want the player to know how much time he's got to finish the mission. At the beginning he has 10 mins and every one min I want to change the value to 9,8,7 etc till it goes to 0. I know how to add them like 11,12,13 etc, but I can't figure how I can decrease the minutes.


Thank you !

Well when your displaying it you can just take the maximum value like 10 and take away the current time. Or you can have a variable start at 10 and just decrease it each minute.

Code:
every bla bla bla do
begin
 SomeVariable    = SomeVariable+1;
 StringToDisplay = 10-SomeVariable;
 if SomeVariable < 10 then
 enable;
end;


Code:
SomeVariable = 10;

every bla bla bla do
begin
 SomeVariable = SomeVariable-1;
 if SomeVariable > 0 then
 enable;
end;
