There is a timer in Screen Language now. The only issue is that it doesn't have any visuals by default. It's not clear what the variables for the timer are, so I went splunking through the code. Unfortunately, even after going through screen_language, ui, game, and behavior, I can't find where the timer decrementing is handled. My guess is that the variable is in TimerState() or Timer(), which I can't locate at the moment.

Either way, the code to put a timer on the screen should be:

Code: Select all

screen showtimer():
    vbox:
        spacing 15
        timer 3.0 action Jump("too_slow")
        text "TIME REMAINING: %d SECONDS" % (whatever_the_variable_is)

I just need to find the name of that variable.

Edit: Solved in another thread. False alarm. That's for a timer where the delay is shown.

Code: Select all

screen my_timer(timeout):
  default time = timeout
  if time != 0:
    timer 1.0 repeat True action SetScreenVariable("time", time - 1)
  # else:
  #  timer 0.01 action Hide("my_timer") # add these two lines of code if you want the timer to disappear automatically.
  text str(time) align (0.5, 0.5)

label start:
  show screen my_timer(5.0)
  "some dialogue"
  hide screen my_timer
