There's supposed to be a way to have a timer that counts down on a screen--most likely for mini-games. I'm trying to make one, and then have it so that if you run out of time, a timed warp warps you out of the mini-game. Here's how I have it set.

A. Frames = 2--I'm using two combos for "60", two for "59 and so on.

A. Speed = 60

Timed warp tics = 3600

The timer counts down fine, but when it gets to about 34-35 seconds, the timed warp activates. Then when I reset and restart, the warp activates when the screen comes up--without giving the timer any time to count down.

Has anyone figured this out? There must be something I'm doing wrong.

A. speed should be 30.
I'm supposing that you're using them as 'Next' Combos

Yes I am. That's how you're supposed to link combos together in a cycle isn't it?

I just set the speed to 30, but it's still doing basically the same thing.

Are you using 2 combos or 2 tiles?.
If you're using 2 combos for each number, then that's the problem.

Oops--I'm actually using two tiles for each combo for each number.
