Stoppable Timer

This tutorial explains how to make a stoppable timer.

Programming

Three variables are needed:

• — the custom timer
• — the timer to be incremented while the custom timer is paused
• — a boolean that determines whether the custom timer is paused

Three broadcasts are used:

• "reset" — resets all counters
• "stop" — pauses the custom timer
• "start" — starts the custom timer

Example Uses

A few possible uses for a stoppable timer include:

• A racing game
• Timed events
• Pausing while using a timer
