Timers

Gosh. It's so embarrassing that I don't know anything about these.

Anywayz. Can someone tell me how to make a timer descend like a normal clock in an event. Every time I use one and set it to 1 min. It just stays at 59 seconds at the start of the event

Can you move at all when the timer is stuck? If you can't, you're stuck in a loop. If you can, the event is resetting the timer every time it goes through. Check how you set it up. You should have the piece that sets the timer in a conditional branch, so that it won't reset the timer every time the event processes.

Ohhh. So.. putting it as a parallel process is a no no. That's what's making it reset itself. Thanks for your help

Actually, you need it to be parallel process. The problem is that it resets the timer every loop, so you need to have something like
if switch0001 is OFF
timer = 60
switch001 = on
end

instead of just setting the timer.

Well, the event that checks the timer needs to be parallel process. The event that starts the timer doesn't have to be.
