Changing the color of a timer (SOLVED)

#1 Post by HeavenlyJoker »

So I'm using the code from this page to get a timer bar in my game, but it's super faint against the background--I realize it's probably the theme I used, but instead of changing the entire theme, is there a way to just change the color of this one bar by itself? Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks for the link, I'm sure when I get around to setting up an actual graphic for the timer it'll be useful. However, I've now stumbled onto another problem that I can't seem to find a fix for--someone mentioned that they found the fix by using an "end menu command" but I'm not sure exactly what that is. Anyway, the timer doesn't stop once the choice is picked, and I don't know how to get it to end its countdown.

By that do you mean....

> The bar doesn't disappear after I pick a choice!
You need to use the "hide screen countdown".

> Even if I pick a choice and hide the screen, the ui.jumps still happens!
I have no idea what would be causing that.
