Making a timer with 0.00

I am making a timer that is in the 0 . 00 format. So every .100 it should add 1 second.

I dont get whole seconds with using the inbuilt timer to add one second every 100/100. I can get it by adding one second of every 60/100 but then I dont get the counter to get the whole way to 0.100. Can i translate this somehow, or am I missing something?

try the expression:
Str$(timer/1000)+"."+Str$(timer mod 1000)
I just tried it and it worked, it may need a bit of adjusting to fill 0s on the left, though.

Where do I put this? I am not to good with these expressions yet. Is the "timer" and the "timer mod" alterable values? because so far I am only using the inbult Timer for this.

You would set an alterable string to that expression. "timer" is an inbuilt variable of MMF2, and "mod" is the modulus command, which performs remainder of division. It is the % sign in most programming languages.

Can you make an example of this?

.

Thanks for example LB but how do I transfer a string "value" to a counter?

LOL! That's much simpler:

Ah thanks! :D

Also is it possible to do a counter that also transforms these seconds to minutes? :) So when the counter is 60.00 it goes to 1.00.00 (1min.00.00) ? Or do I have to use two counters and add 1 to the second one and reset the other one when it reaces 60.00?

You should really just use strings for that. ;)

Why use strings when it is numbers? I dont really get that :P And how do I transfer a string value to a leaderboard?

I got this example from Prodigy X http://mfa.aquadasoft.com/view/1336847785-Application

But how do I transfer all these counters to a leaderboard and can I make the numbers static and not jump around when they increase? Also how to make it 00.00.00 instead of 00.00.000?

Yes, but you would have to use strings.

You need to use strings.

I have already made an example for you above. If you would like I could modify it with your requests.

Maybe the problem is that i am trying to use the Playtomic extension to make leaderboards and I get back a very strange string with numbers date and time of the day..

I cant use strings because I am using custom graphics for the numbers
