OK so i am setting up timers and i have one that counts down but i cant get the other one to get down. Here are the codes i am using for both of them.
timer 1 (works)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | local countdowntxt = display.newText(time_remain, 0, 0, "Times New Roman", 16*2); countdowntxt.xScale = 1; countdowntxt.yScale = 1; countdowntxt:setReferencePoint(display.CenterRightReferencePoint); countdowntxt.x = _W-20; countdowntxt.y = _H-20; local function countDown(e) time_remain = time_remain - 1; countdowntxt.text = time_remain; end if(o == total_mints) then gametmr = timer.performWithDelay(1000, countDown, 1814400) end |
OK on line 16 is when the second timer code starts
Is this all of the code?
I don't see where o,time_remain2, total_mints, or time_remain are given any starting values.
and adding < /code > tag will end the code areas.
Hey there, have fixed up the tags in your post.
You want to use < code > as you were before the code but at the end, do < /code > to go back to normal text. (Without the spaces of course.)
As Screaming Leaf said it would help to see some more code.
I do see a typo that may be causing the problem, however that should have printed in the terminal. (Are you using the terminal?)
Anyway, line 12 - you write "counDown" rather than "countDown".

Yes i am using the console and i had noticed that typo a few minutes after i posted the post. And i am not using a starting value for 0 or total_mints, cause i all i want to do is make the timer run and it seems to do that without those values but here are the codes for time_remain and time_remain2.
1 2 | time_remain = 1814400 time_remain2 = 30240 |
Oh just adding 0 = 1 and total_mints = 1 got it to work ^_^ thank you for your help and i'm sure i will be back with mroe questions later.
Glad all is well now - I look forward to seeing your other questions around the forum.
Peach :)
Thank you again.
