Reset scene.elapsedtime and stop the Time Limit Exceeded message
I have a timed quiz in a scene by itself. The built in timer shows a Time Limit Exceeded message even when the quiz is complete and the Results slide (in a separate scene) is displayed. I only want to see the Time Limit Exceeded message if the quiz is still active. Is there any way to achieve this?
My other issue is that scene.elapsedtime does not reset when the same scene is accessed for a second attempt at the quiz. Is there a way to reset the timer or a work around so that the timer for the second attempt does not add onto the time from the first attempt?

I’ve seen this happen too — it can be annoying when the timer doesn’t behave as expected.
A couple of simple things that helped me:
1.Try moving the Results slide to a different scene so the timer doesn’t carry over.
2. For retries, send learners to a duplicate of the quiz scene — that usually gives a fresh timer.
Hope that helps a bit! Curious to see what others suggest too.
