Here is my little counter script that will count up like a timer clock.

     public Text timerText;

     private float secondsCount;
     private int minuteCount;
     private int hourCount;


     void Update(){
         UpdateTimerUI();
     }

 //call this on update
     public void UpdateTimerUI(){
         //set timer UI
         secondsCount += Time.deltaTime;
         timerText.text = hourCount +"h:"+ minuteCount +"m:"+(int)secondsCount + "s";
         if(secondsCount >= 60){
             minuteCount++;
             secondsCount = 0;
         }else if(minuteCount >= 60){
             hourCount++;
             minuteCount = 0;
         }    
     }

Hi, if you want to display seconds or $$anonymous$$utes under 10 with a 0 - meaning 2 digits - you can change the line of Ronny$$anonymous$$ibet to:

 timerText.text = hourCount + "h:" + $$anonymous$$uteCount.ToString("00") + "m:" + ((int)secondsCount).ToString("00") + "s";

thanks for the counter.

There is a $$anonymous$$or flaw in this piece of code. When resetting the seconds or $$anonymous$$utes, you should use the % operator instead.

 secondsCount = 0;
 // should be replaced by: 
 secondsCount %= 60;

likewise

 $$anonymous$$uteCount = 0;
 // should be replaced by: 
 $$anonymous$$uteCount %= 60;

You'd also want to split this up into two nested if statements instead of an if-else statement This way, you don't throw away the overflow, and you don't waste computing resources.

The result is then:

 public void UpdateTimerUI(){
     //set timer UI
     secondsCount += Time.deltaTime;
     timerText.text = hourCount +"h:"+ $$anonymous$$uteCount +"m:"+(int)secondsCount + "s";
     if(secondsCount >= 60){
         $$anonymous$$uteCount++;
         secondsCount %= 60;
         if($$anonymous$$uteCount >= 60){
             hourCount++;
             $$anonymous$$uteCount %= 60;
         }
     }    
 }

var Timer = 0.0;

function Update ()
{
Timer += Time.deltaTime; //Time.deltaTime will increase the value with 1 every second.
}

If you want to show it on a GUI then you can use this:

first create a guiText then place this script on it:

var Timer = 0.0;

function Update ()
{
Timer += Time.deltaTime;

guiText.text = "" + Timer;
}

You can take a look at this.

Put this in an GUI Text

var textTime : String; function Start () {

}

function Update () {

 var Crono = Time.time;

var minutos : int = Crono / 60; var segundos: int = Crono % 60; var milesimas: int = (Crono * 100)% 100; textTime = String.Format ("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", minutos, segundos, milesimas); GetComponent(GUIText).text = textTime.ToString();

}
