DateTime Timer not working when loading the correct timer amount??
I have a timer that counts down from 120 and using DateTime to save the date so that if you close the game and come back the timer has been going down based on the system date. Kind of like a when you build something in Clash of Clans and you can come back into the game later and the timer has gone down. (I dont need to have a system clock to prevent Date Time cheating). Here is my script. It is long but thats because it is also for other crafting things.

All the print statements print what they should but the timer is not changed even though the difference is correct. Am I not setting the tinpaneltimer properly? "float tinpaneltimer = (float)dt.TotalSeconds;" line of code should set the timer to the difference between the old date and the current date in seconds but it doesnt do anything. The timer starts up again instead of being off when i restart the game but the timer amount is reset back to 120. Please help I think i am not setting the timer properly.
I'd like to say a few things. First holy crap there is 224 people following this question, welcome, I see like me you are probably trying to make a build/craft timer like in Clash of Clans or basically in any game. Secondly if you are following and have any and I mean ANY ideas/thoughts/or suggestions that you think might be helpful be sure to comment them because if we work together we can figure this out. -TenSeven
Best Answer
float tinpaneltimer = (float)dt.TotalSeconds;
That is creating a new local variable inside the CheckDate method. What you probably want is:
tinpaneltimer = (float)dt.TotalSeconds;
