Pulp timer help: help wanted!

Pulp

I need to make a timer for my pulp game, can anyone help?

in the game script, you can use the loop event to affect things every frame. for example, the game script might read something like:

on start do
timer = 20 //twenty second timer
end

on loop do
tick++
if tick>=20 then
timer-- //reduces timer by 1
tick = 0 //resets tick
if timer<=0 then
fin "Time's up!"
end
end
end

This would just start a simple timer right at the start of the game which counts down every second, then triggers a game over when time is up and restarts.

Unless you want to check the timer's progress, using 'wait' is a bit simpler.

wait 1 then
//timer completion

You can even pass in a variable:

variable = 1
wait variable then
//timer competion
