game time reset

[whiteadi]

Hi,

 

I try to reset the time game with:

 

game.time.reset();

 

but it continues...

 

Thanks,

Yes all it does is reset the time at which the game time started, so things like Time.totalElapsedSeconds would give you a different value after the reset.

Hmm,

 

ok, I was expecting also a different value for game.time.time ...

 

Thanks,

I think my implementation of the timer then needs to change

Changed it like this:

 

...

 

function updateTimer() {

        

        end = new Date()

        diff = end - start

        diff = new Date(diff)

        milliseconds = diff.getMilliseconds()

        seconds = diff.getSeconds()

        minutes = diff.getMinutes()

        var hr = diff.getHours()-1

        if (minutes < 10){

            minutes = "0" + minutes

        }

        if (seconds < 10){

            seconds = "0" + seconds

        }

        if(milliseconds < 10){

            milliseconds = "00" +milliseconds

        }

        else if(milliseconds < 100){

            milliseconds = "0" +milliseconds

        }

 

        timer.setText(minutes + ':'+ seconds + ':' + milliseconds);

        

        if(seconds>time_intervals[level]){

            scoreText.x = game.world.centerX - 200;

            scoreText.font.fill = '#FF0000';

            scoreText.content = 'You lost at level: ' + (level + 1) + '. Score: ' + score + '\nPress SPACE to restart.';

            lost = true;

            resetTimer();

        }

        

    }

    

    function chronoReset(){

        resetTimer();

        timer.content = '00:00:00';  

        start = new Date()

    }

 

...

 

in the create I create a new start date

 

start = new Date()

 

and after that i start the first level and in the update the updateTimer will be called.

 

works
