Timer Trouble...

And please excuse the annoying alliteration. And that one.

I'm having trouble with my timer. When it's given you a lead of 3,600 seconds (1 hour), it's supposed to tell you that you've been "Splatting" for one hour. But, this ends up happening whenever you move, and it's getting on my nerves. Do help, or I might explode.

Re: Timer Trouble...

It's supposed to look like this, I think...

wait until <(timer) > [3600]>
  say [Splatting for one hour] for (2) secs

Re: Timer Trouble...

Make sure you run the "reset timer" block (in Sensing) when the green flag is pressed.  The timer doesn't stop with the stop sign, so it's likely you've had Scratch open for more than one hour, and it's counted forward the entire time.   smile
