Gaming timer with a problem
Sep 18, 2015
I found a great timer here on the forum. Unfortunately I can't find the thread nor the name of the person now. But creds to whoever it may concern. :)
The timer was great but I have made some modifications. The original timer counted every second. That is too low resolution for me.
Now it counts in step of .025s which is the lowest possible increment in ST.
In my attached example you won't see the 0.25 increments, only seconds and minutes.
My problem is that the timer jumps 10 seconds if I click on a new page just as the timer reaches a nine (9): 09, 19 or 39 for instance.
Can anyone help me to understand what is wrong?
And by the way, the exercise is to answer 12 questions by clicking on the correct answer. On time.

I am not sure why, I had a play, the first three slides are a modified function that seems to work
It uses less triggers as well
Thanx Phil but it seems you have removed the 0.25s increment when counting. I need that as it will be too inaccurate otherwise when users click to continue. If real time is 12 s and 99 ‘’ and the user clicks to continue it works fine but if the time is 12 s 01’’ and the user clicks continue they will lose one second.
Ah! I misread your post, I thought you had one that measured 0.25 and left it at that * face palm * rereading I am not sure why I thought that
I couldn't see anything wrong with it which was why I rewrote the triggers, I will have another look
This seems to work, I added back in the .25 increments
I left a trigger on every slide to reset S1
Butt this might work better for you it increments in 0.1 seconds
Thanks for stopping in to assist Gustaf here, Phil! :)
Thx alot Phil. The 0.10 version was a neat version. :)
But why do you set S1 to zero on each slide?
I did it on the first slide and duplicated and forgot to delete it, it kept starting at 2 for some reason
Phil
I only meant to set it on the first slide, so you can delete that trigger on all the subsequent slides
I deleted it on all slides. The timer starts at 1 for me.
