You can't read the remaining time, but you can calculate it, like this:

var gText: GUIText; // drag the GUIText here from Hierarchy var timeToInvoke: float = 5.0; // time to invoke the function private var remTime: float;

Invoke("SomeFunction", timeToInvoke); remTime = timeToInvoke; // start the timer when Invoke is called

function Update(){ if (remTime >= 0){ // only count time while it has not finished remTime -= Time.deltaTime; // decrement timer if (remTime >= 0){ // if timer still > 0... gText.text = remTime.ToString("F1"); // show it } else { // but if time ended... gText.text = ""; // display nothing } } }
