Issue with Countdown Timer

JustMe74

I implemented the countdown timer from the example on Tshirtbooth's site (gshelper.com) but I'm having an issue. When the "Pause" function is run, the timer still counts down.

I tried creating a variable "IsPaused" that can be true/false. When Pause is run, I set it to true. I added a Rule to only run the timer if the function is set to False... unfortunately this had the effect of just restarting the timer from the top value when I unpause.

I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I can't seem to find it.

I would have my timer attribute setup and then a rule

When IsPaused is false
-every 0.1 seconds change attribute timer to (time - 0.1)

Also make sure you are not checking run to completion as it may not stop even once the rule becomes invalid.

Thanks -- that worked. I had to re-write my timer function but I have it working now.
