Stop timer

Well, I'm making a project, and I wanted to add a timer to it. But the timer won't stop. Not even the power of the <stop all> block will stop it. So, I need help. How do you stop a timer?

I didn't use a variable, I used the timer block that is in the sensing section of blocks.

It never stops you have to set it to a variable when you want it to stop.


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: Stop timer

Actually people have been saying that there's too many duplicate topics in here and that you should search through the older topics to see if your questions been answered already. (It should just be if it's on the first page though)

Re: Stop timer

You select *Reset Timer* THEN put a *Stop Script* block on. *Reset timer* is next to the *Timer* block.
