    >     static var timeLimit = 20; //in minutes
>     static var startTime;
>     static var textTime : String; //added this member variable here so

I would probably do it by setting timeLeft to a number of seconds right at the start, and decrementing it by the deltaTime each frame. You can then check, if timeLeft is less than 0, the game is over.

static var timeLimit = 20; //in minutes static var textTime : String; //added this member variable here so we can access it through other scripts

function Awake { var timeLeft : float = timeLimit 60; // set the timeLeft to be the timeLimit seconds }

function Update () { if ( timeLeft <= 0 ) // if there's no time left { // Game over! } timeLeft -= Time.deltaTime; // subtract the time for the last frame }

function OnGUI () { var minutes : int = timeLeft / 60; var seconds : int = timeLeft % 60; var fraction : int = (timeLeft * 100) % 100;

textTime = "Time Left: " + String.Format ("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:000}", minutes, seconds, fraction); GUI.Label (Rect (550, 20, 200, 600), textTime); }

You could display a GUI that says "GA$$anonymous$$E OVER", or tint the screen grey, or reload the current level. Whatever you want to do. I assume you don't want the game to quit immediately, or the player would never know why the game finished.
