local function updateTime()

Hi,

Please ask the question properly.

Don’t thrown the code unproperly like garbages lol.

What’s the question exactly ? To pause and restart the timer when you press the boutton widget ?

If it’s that, just make your onEventListenerPouse function like that with the variable “countDownTimer” declare below, 

local countDownTimer local function onEventListenerPouse(event) if countDownTimer.\_expired == true then print("time finish - timer expired") return end local ph=event.phase if ph=="began" then timer.pause(countDownTimer) end if ph=="ended" or ph=="cancelled" then timer.resume(countDownTimer) end end
