How To Make A Countdown Timer In Unity - Beginner Tutorial

This video will quickly show you how to make a countdown timer in unity. This works for unity 2D and unity 3D and is very useful when making games.

IMPORTANT: in the code on line 19 you need to move the - to behind the =

To anyone having a problem with the text stuck at 0. On line 22 change the > to a <. That should fix it.

on line 19, it needs to be "currentTime -=" instead of "currentTime = -"

Love the format. I know it might not be great to total beginners, but to somewhat beginners like me some straight to the point video/code like this is awesome. Thanks!

if i want to add the timer on a ontrigger function when u pick up the timer how do go about with the code currently im doing this but its wrong.

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if
{

powerupsound.Play();
while (timestart > 0)
{
timestart -= 1 * Time.deltaTime;
timertext.text = timestart.ToString();
}
if (timestart > 0)
{
powerup = true;

}
else
powerup = false;

}
