How to have a count down timer carry over to a new level?

Hi there I am currently creating a 2D game where you have to collect X amount of objects in X amount of time. I want to have a ten second timer as a GUI Label. But I don't want it to be restated when I change levels. So I want the timer, let's say in the top right hand corner at all times counting down even when I change levels! Is this possible? Would I use something like DontDestoryOnLoad? scripting is not my thing! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Scripting will have to sort of be your thing for this. Use playerprefs or dontdestroy as you suggested.

 

Thanks that still does not really help.

 

Perhaps you could consider playmaker if you wanted to make game elements without programming.

 

Or you could just simply add :

Code (JavaScript):

1. DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);

to your timer script.
