"set timer to" Blocks

People can start the timer from a certain time in the project. Here's my example:

set timer to (1)

Re: "set timer to" Blocks

workaround:instead of the  timer block use a timer variable

when gf clicked
forever
set [var timer v] to ((timer) + (startval))
end
you replace (startval) with when you want (timer) to start and show the varible not the timer

Re: "set timer to" Blocks

I don't support due to the easy workaround. But it's a good suggestion.  smile

Re: "set timer to" Blocks

i dont think thats really part of the idea behind the timer, whatever that may be
try variables instead, theyre much easier to work with

Re: "set timer to" Blocks

Scratch do not make blocks that have a easy workaround so set answer to and set timer to will not be approved of. Sorry  sad
