How can i pause the timer when the seconds = 0 ??
local seconds = 0 function time( ) seconds = seconds-1 secondsT.text= seconds if seconds == 0 then print ("seconds = 0") physics.start() end end local cro = timer.performWithDelay(1000,time, 0 )
Maybe there’s a typo, but since seconds starts at 0 and decrements before the ‘if’ statement, your code will never see seconds==0 (the first thing it sees is seconds==-1).
Have you tried it with seconds starting at 10, e.g. ??
local seconds = 5 local secondsT = display.newText("", 10, 10) local physics = require "physics" physics.start() local cro function time( ) seconds = seconds-1 secondsT.text= seconds if seconds == 0 then print ("seconds = 0") physics.start() timer.cancel(cro) end end cro = timer.performWithDelay(1000,time, 0 )
This starts a timer at 5 and counts backwards to 0 then stops… hope it helps.
