Time variable

If you wanted to make a Time variable, which I have seen people do before, how do you make it count up in perfect seconds.Usually, I just say Forever-increase (variable) by 0.025, but it doesn't really increase in seconds?

or you could do

forever
set time to timer


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: Time variable

remember, every block has a small built in wait, so this is quite un accurate, especially if its in the same script as more blocks
