Create a Timer for Storyline Any Version

I have done a lot of research over the last few years on creating a timer that can count down or up on a slide or even a project. Since what I wanted was something at the slide level for activities ...

I know this is an old post, but hello to all the heroes!

I have built a simple time loop timer, but if I place it on a slide with other layers it stops counting when a different layer is visited...

Can anyone help?

    Hey MarkAnthony! If you click on the layer and then the slide properties gear icon, you can then uncheck "Hide other slide layers" and that should do the trick. Here's a screenshot for reference:

      Thank you Sarah!

      I'll check it out soon.

      Can I ask you for other advice if needed :)

      I'll get back with my results.

      Thanks again!

        Hi Sarah!

        Tried that...am I doing something wrong? I have several layers on each slide with many elements that I need to time throughout the slide timeline...so, I need for the timer to show on the base layer, but be active while the layers are being visited / reacted to.

        I looked at your suggestions and have made some changes to maybe match my needs. I can send you the actual file if needed.

        Thank you again!!!
