How to make reverse countdown timer in unity?
Hi I am trying to make a reverse count down timer which should start from let's say 2 minutes and it should come back to 0:00 its basically a level timer? I have been able to achieve forward timer from 0:00 onward but how can I reverse this? any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Here's my code: public Text gameTimerText; public float gameTimer = 0f;
void Start () {
gameTimerText = GetComponent<Text>() as Text;
}
void Update () {
gameTimer += Time.deltaTime;
int seconds = (int)(gameTimer % 60);
int minutes = (int)(gameTimer / 60) % 60;
string gameTimerString = string.Format("{0:0}:{1:00}",minutes,seconds);
gameTimerText.text = gameTimerString;
}

This should get you what you want. Hope it helps.
public class CountdownTimer : MonoBehaviour
{
float gameTime = 60f;
float startTime;
void Awake()
{
startTime = Time.time;
}
void Update()
{
float elapsedTime = Time.time - startTime;
int minutes = (int)((gameTime - elapsedTime) / 60) % 60;
int seconds = (int)((gameTime - elapsedTime) % 60);
string gameTimerString = string.Format("{0:0}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);
Debug.Log(gameTimerString);
if (elapsedTime >= gameTime)
{
// Times up
}
}
}
