Simplest Possible Countdown Timer that Actually STOPS!

I'm not sure what broke in our company template (I did not create it) but now the timer resets to 59:59 when it reaches the end instead of just hanging out at 00:00 until the student moves forward. 

 

Also, part of the reason I'm not sure what broke is that our timer is quite complicated (interactions I make are never this complicated so reverse engineering seems to be outside of my skill set).

  • Look at the Master;

    The minutes and seconds show a reference to the variables, but the hours are just numbers. You can't see the hour variable, but its initial value is 1. The timer doesn't reset from 0:00 to 59:59, it resets from 1:0:00 to 0:59:59

      We don't use the hour variable at all (I'm not really even sure why it's there to tell ya the truth)

       

      So if I remove or edit the hour variable it won't be included in the countdown?

  • AH! it worked! 

     

    I went through my notes and saw that the default should have been 0 the whole time. Not sure how/when/who changed it.
