get os.time or timer with lua

Hello,
I need to show a simple timer or os.time in my scene but I don't know like do it and the variable type.
number type: v=variable
string type: vs=variable
time type: ???

thanks.

There is no time type for the displayed texts. You can only include the integer or string value of an existing value. You could write the time into a value though. The string section of a value would be better than the integer section as you would be able to include formatting.

What is this timer for?

Hi Lee, it's your timer script that not works . When I quit the option menu, the timer resets to 0 every time.

Ah that old chestnut again eh!

I wrote that script ages ago. Not sure why it should be resetting itself though, unless you are reinitializing the script by calling it each time you load the menu scene.
