Dynamically updated turn timer count per minute elapsed

[spellwalker]

Hi,

How can I create a dynamically updated timer that will change the title every minute?
e.g. when I just create the timer the first time it would say:

time passed 1 minute 0:60

then it will tick every second going:
time passed 1 minute 0:59
time passed 1 minute 0:58
time passed 1 minute 0:57
...
time passed 1 minute 0:01

• Income Timer
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start TestTimer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title (Time Passed + 1 minute)

Then once it reaches 60 second countdown, it would go:
time passed 2 minutes 0:60
time passed 2 minutes 0:59
time passed 2 minutes 0:58
time passed 2 minutes 0:57
...
time passed 2 minutes 0:01

• Income
  • Events
    • Time - TestTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
    • Countdown Timer - Start TestTimer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title (Time Passed + 2 minute)

but after that I am not sure how to make it update dynamically that variable before minute... Do I create 60-120 triggers like this or is there an easy way to arithmetically increment that? something like set minute = minute + 1?
...
Bonus if this can be done via the GUI-only

This might be what you are looking for : Game Timer
Alternatively, you can create an integer variable that increases by +1 every time the timer expires and show it on the timer window.

Thank you Warseeker, based on the OP's first post from the thread you've mentioned and your suggestion I was able to produce what I was after

• Income Timer
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set GameTimePlayed = 0
    • Countdown Timer - Start TimeElapsed as a Repeating timer that will expire in 60.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title ((String(GameTimePlayed)) + minutes elapsed)
    • Set GameTimerWindow = (Last created timer window)

• Income
  • Events
    • Time - TimeElapsed expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set GameTimePlayed = (GameTimePlayed + 1)
    • Countdown Timer - Change the title of GameTimerWindow to ((String(GameTimePlayed)) + minutes elapsed)
