Timer
 

How can I make a timer count down from 5 minutes.

Well, first, you add a 3D Text that says 300. Then, make a number variable that is 300. Finally, add a method with the following:
If [Your variable here] > 0
[Your 3D Text here] set text [Your countdown over message here]
else
Wait 1 second
Decrement [Your variable here] by one
3D Text set text [(Your variable here) as a string]
-------
You can find [What] as a string and [Number] > [Number] under world's functions.
You can call the 3D text to change text by dragging the Text node from 3D Text's properties.
If that's too complicated, I can make it for you...

What I need is a timer that counts down from 5 minutes. I have the seconds figured out, but I am stuck om the minutes.
Here is what I have so far.

300 seconds=Five minutes.
Good job figuring out what I said.

I know 300 seconds equals 5 minutes, but I want it to look like 5 minutes not 300 seconds.

divide by 60.

So originally set the text object to "5", and have the loop wait 60 seconds instead of 1 second
