Need help with a timer

[Zalgathor]

I am in the top down game mode and I am trying to do something very, very simple.

The downside is i’ve watched probably 5 hours worth of tutorial videos and i follow along step for step and my timer does not display at all.

The only function it serves is to count down from 60 seconds to 0 seconds then it loops back to 60 counting to 0 again until the game is over.

I am very, very new to this and I am honestly getting so frustrated because either the videos are wrong or I am doing something wrong. I am using version 4.26.2

Why is this so simple compared to any other video/thread i have looked through. Thank you very much for the assistance!

Now to get it to display, would you recommend using a widget and use the “Text” and bind it to the timer, or would you recommend using a HUD?

Just put that code in a widget and bind a text box to the time variable

So true. If you want a repeating 60s countdown in seconds:

You can, optionally, format text before pushing it into the text block - also, ensure the text block is flagged as isVariable at the top of the panel.

If you want a fancier timer:

And bind this to the Text Block:

Fancier, yet even simpler!
