Hi, this my first game and post for game salad. I was wondering how you would have a simple counter, starting at 0 and counting seconds and minutes up. I have seen most the tutorials on youtube but i keep getting invalid expression for those tutorials. So does anybody have a tutorial i can refer to. It doesn't have to be fancy. Just simple text numbers. Thank you everyone for your help!

    Create an Integer attribute and name it whatever you want. Ill call it Time.
    Create a timer behavior
    (pick a number of seconds, ill use 1)
    Every 1 Second Change Attribute Time to Time +1
    Then you Create An actor and for it do Display Text: Time

    Let me know if still need help.

    Hi
    I hope you can help me. I also want a counter, starting at 0 and counting milliseconds and seconds up.
    I tried it with this: "Every 0.01 second > Change 'Timer' to 'Timer + 0.01", but it's counting up to slow. What can I do?

    I need help also. It is counting with decimals...is there a possible way to count only on the second part?

    @moneymaster2012, make sure you are using an Integer Attribute NOT a Real Attribute. Integers don't use decimals.
