Works like a charm. Out of all the tutorials I've watched this is the first one where I see the ? and : being used.

[@encounter8]

Wow...I think your Unity tutorial should be listed as a course on Unity Learn. Your videos are just way more easier to follow through and practical. Thanks a lot for AWESOME tutorials!!

[@Clavertus]

What a great video, I don't understand why you don't have more views and likes :D Good job mate, simple and to the point

[@pressstart6864]

Thank you! We're new but we're growing slowly.

Simple and to the point. Exactly what I needed to have my day night cycle script run automatically, granted I'll need to modify the code here a tiny bit, but that's easy. Thank you so much.

good tutorial! Without you i couldn't figure out how to work with time, good explanation also!

[@imvincible1391]

If you wan't to make the countdown timer go up just switch, (Great vid!) timeStart -= Time.deltaTime; to timeStart += Time.deltaTime;

[@NeedforSpeedMostWanted-yk4gz]

can we say timeStart = -Time.deltaTime; why cant this work ?

[@oddept]

@@NeedforSpeedMostWanted-yk4gz Hey a year late. "timeStart -= TIme.deltaTime;" actually says "timeStart = timeStart - Time.deltaTime;" So it's removing it from the variable. "timeStart = -Time.deltaTime" is setting it to deltaTime, so not removing it. Don't know if you still needed this but incase someone else strolls onto this video and wonders why.

Is there a way to do the stopwatch in the format of 00:00 or 00.00? Keeping it as seconds and milliseconds?

[@pressstart6864]

This might help: string minutes = Mathf.Floor(timeStart / 60).ToString("00"); string seconds = (timeStart % 60).ToString("00"); textBox.text = minutes + ":" + seconds;

[@pressstart6864]

For milliseconds do: milliseconds = (int)(timeStart * 1000f) % 1000;

if(timer

[@Ryan22_7]

This is so simple. Why is every other tutorial so complex???

[@upowlnight]

This tutorial is really helpful to me. I'm new to coding so at 6:14 I dont really understand why you would write public void first. I dont understand what that means when people write things like Public Void, Private Void, Void Start, Void Update. I just try to blindly accept it, but I feel like I should understand. Is there some good documentation for noobs somewhere?

[@steegray4688]

hey man, I only just started too but in case you were still wondering, here is a really basic and by no means comprehensive round up of what I've learned about it so far: void means it doesn't return a value, where things like float, int, or bool do, and is basically used to DO things as opposed to generate values. Public and Private basically means if that part of the code is accessible to other parts of the game/code or not. So if another script can use part of this one or not depends if it is public. Can also mean it's accessible from the inspector. Does that make sense?

[@upowlnight]

@@steegray4688 wow, I appreciate the response. That was really helpful. So private void I can name stuff however I wish, and not worry if I use that name again for another variable in another void somewhere else.

[@steegray4688]

@@upowlnight I believe so. If it's private it means nothing outside that script and whatever object it's attached to can access, so you could call it whatever really. I'm still learning of course so if this turns out to be untrue I take no responsibility haha

[@jglasshalfpool4640]

Great tutorial. Thank you. I'm using this for a lap timer and am stuck trying to get minutes working. The timer just increments so 1 minute 22 seconds is shown as "82.00". Any pointers on converting this into a min:sec:millisec format?

pretty sure you solved this since your post 2 years ago but for anyone else, this tut helped me incrementing minutes:seconds kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6nPepSDqs2emK8

[@paulinox668]

Cuando se tenga un problema, busca tutoriales en ingles, son mas directos, intuitivos, y no te dicen "Esto es así, por que si" , si no que te explican la lógica que hay detrás esa a sido mi experiencia con todos los videos en ingles que eh visto.

[@dennisgonzales9521]

Can u make a tutorial about what and when to use Time.Deltatime and the Time.FixedDelta time? Thanks 😀😁

[@Martin-hj4re]

how can I start a UI Timer with OnTriggerEnter? I've searched pretty much the whole internet

[@pressstart6864]

Using the code from this video, just set timerActive = true in your onTriggerEnter function, like so: public class StopWatch : MonoBehaviour { public float timeStart; public Text textBox; public Text startBtnText; bool timerActive = false; // Use this for initialization void Start () { textBox.text = timeStart.ToString("F2"); } // Update is called once per frame void Update () { if(timerActive){ timeStart += Time.deltaTime; textBox.text = timeStart.ToString("F2"); } } private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){ timerActive = true; } }

[@SmashBros4339]

@@pressstart6864 Is there also a way we can stop and get rid of the stopwatch when the gameover screen comes?

.. damn now how does one get this trnslated onto a Target game object.... (so if you hit hte target the timere starts, and if you defeated the target the timer stops)

I need a countdown that works with minutes and seconds for a timed game mechanic

[@emretasdemiir]

same here,anything?

[@volokkolov9546]

thank you

[@azyjmexcuseokstop924]

shoulda used a coroutine if you are only conting seconds : as is, your first countdown uses the update function every frame while it could just use a coroutine every second, dividing performance hit by 60

[@КонстантинЛактионов-щ1ю]

very cool

[@nickarry]

Wow. Liked and Subbed! Question, how can i edit it so that the countdown timer only begins once 2 objects (which i've tagged in unity) collide? Thanks!

[@karas9570]

It's good but,It's notworking .if I create public void timeButton and use Onclick input Main camera when play mode time is stop in 0.00 and no can click nothing.

[@rainoffire919]

when you decreasing timer with delta time you don't wanna go below zero actually to be negative number.Copy this code and you done: using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI; public class CountDown : MonoBehaviour { public float TimeStart = 60f; public Text TextBox; bool stopTime = true; //Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { TextBox.text = TimeStart.ToString(); } //Update is called once per frame void Update() { if (stopTime) { TimeStart -= Time.deltaTime; TextBox.text = Mathf.Round(TimeStart).ToString(); //TextBox.text = TimeStart.ToString(); } if (TimeStart

[@DonGT]

Would this work (this is just a test not an actual script) Public bool time; Void update() { If time == true() { Then insert the stuff you did in update } If timestart = 0; { Time = false; } If time == false { Debug.Log("Timer is at 0") } This took long to write cuz I'm on mobile but just asking if this would work for somthing to happen when timer runs out }

[@erenaydin]

thans a lot

[@dawaysss7987]

Great tutorial but when it reaches 0 it keeps going to -1

[@wellingtonhiciano2954]

you miss the part to reset the timer back to 0 when it reaches 60 seconds
