[Trigger] Floating Text timer??? How to do it?

[sephiroth1234]

Hello to all hive users, well I am creating a Floating Text in which its text is from a running Timer, every second, I set the Floating Text to the current time remaining for the Timer, but I have a problem, I start the timer in which it will lapse for over 210 seconds or 3 minutes and 30 seconds. But the Floating Text always read as 210.00. I want the Floating Text reads as 3:30 and not 210.00.

Any help or attempt will be appreciated and sure +rep!!!

You can search for a tutorial of how to make an in-game clock. I guess it uses increasing reals, which, once the timer's value reaches 60.00, they will increase by 1 and display that one in the floating text.

Yes I thought of that before but do I really to set hundreds of variables? Because every unit I specified has its own Floating Text timer. Anyway my new map is a modern warfare map and it contains destructive weapons like nuclear weapons so I have to create an individual timers for balancing reasons...

No, just use hashtables and you will end up having only 2 variables: the variable that loads the timer's value and the variable that loads the increasing-by-1 real.
