Hi guys,
I have made a timer to countDown from 10 seconds
to zero and it works but I cannot understand why I
had to subtract an additional value of one from the following line:
gMyTime = 10 - (gMyTime -1) -1
without this the counter will start from 11 rather than 10.
I would have thought that :
gMyTime = 10 - (gMyTime -1)
would do the job but...
Can anyone be kind enough to explain this to me?
Here is the full code:
on prepareFrame
set the text of field "Ten" = "" --resets the text to empty
end
on exitFrame me
global gMyTime
startTimer
go to the frame
repeat while the timer <= 10*60 --10 seconds
Ctime
put gMyTime into field "Ten"
end repeat
halt
end
on Ctime
global gMyTime
gMyTime = the timer /60 -- set the timer to seconds
gMyTime = 10-(gMyTime-1)-1 --detract one with each second
end
Thanks
