    I just wondered how you can use Unity's time to make say a countdown timer, so that when the times up something happens..?
    Thanks

    You can have a timeLeft property, and then subtract time.deltaTime inside Update

    To display it, you can either scale an object (for a bar), or use a textmesh...

    Ok, I've had my walk; Im better now..

    So how do I get to change the text parameter in textMesh? Just:

    Code (csharp):
    1. MytextmeshName.text = "blabla"; //??
