Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

How do I remove my timer ? My time goes into other scenes . I want it to remove itself when it’s done loading or when a new scene is launched from the restart scene . 

#2

What do you mean? Just use timer.cancel(). Or do you mean the text doesn’t remove?

#3

Yea the text doesn’t remove

#4

So do display.remove()…

#5

just put that or put display.remove(timer) ?

#6

Well can you post the code on how you created the timer text.?

#7 
local timeLimit = 6 timeLeft = display.newText(timeLimit, 160, 20, native.systemFontBold, 24) timeLeft:setTextColor(255,0,0) function timerDown() timeLimit = timeLimit-1 timeLeft.text = timeLimit if(timeLimit==0)then timer.cancel(timerr) storyboard.gotoScene("maxtime", "fade", 400) end end timerr = timer.performWithDelay(1000,timerDown,timeLimit)
