How can I script a timer to countdown faster if a condition is met?

hi
I'm creating a timed game where I have a jumbled up path that the player needs to unjumble to get across. I have created this system and it works
To this I'm trying to add alternate routes, one route will cause Instant game over, another will cause the timer to go down rapidly and the third will cause the player to teleport to the finish line.
What would be the best way to go about doing this?

 

Depends... On how you set up your timer. Show some code and we can probably help you out. Use code tags.

 

Since this is a Question often asked i decided to make a small example for my script library. You can find it at my place.
Just follow my profile link.

 

Hi Sorry for the late replay.
I've got three scripts working together. Right now I'm working with a prototype using a tutorial I found on youtube about creating a water pipe game
I'm Pasting them below

1. Game Manager

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
