    socks Hey do you mind giving me the other one? The one when you said > So, in your original example you say you should get 200 points from finishing in 28 seconds, but now you seem to be saying that you should get 200 points from finishing in 2 seconds !?

    You can't have both !! :smile: <

    You need to state clearly what you want first, just state it once, and write next to it (preferably in bold red text) 'this is what I want, this one right here, if you hear me change me mind then ignore me, it's definitely this one and not the complete opposite, honestly, I promise'

    So the longer it takes you, the better your score?

    Yes/No.

    Then I'd recommend (30-game.time)*100.

    That'll never work.

    @Armelline‌ maybe that's what I'm looking for! I really made this confusing even to my self so if I could have the coding for what you said " So the longer it takes you, the better your score? " that might be what I really want! :)

    I'd strongly recommend planning your game as thoroughly as possible before starting to make it. The better an idea you have of how you want things to work, the more efficiently you can work and the clearer and more consistent your questions can be.

    This thread has gone something like this. You are in bold, everyone else is not.

    How do I do this?

    You do it like this.

    Please explain what you mean.

    Here is an explanation.

    But I want to do this complete opposite thing?

    Are you sure, that's not what you asked originally.

    No, I want what I asked originally.

    Here's an example project.

    But how do I do it?

    Here's some more explanation.

    But how do I do the complete opposite thing?

    Why?

    Well maybe that's what I really want, despite my repeated explanations to the contrary.

    If this is how every thread you post ends up playing out, you'll find very few people prepared to take the time to respond to you, no matter how many bros you throw around.

    @http_gamesalad‌

    OK, is it that your timer is counting down from 30 seconds?

    Then it is obvious that the less time left, the less points you get. So at 8 seconds, you get not 2200, but 3000 minus 2200. That's what the 30-game.time is all about. Other way around, just chuck out the 30-.

    Anyway, if you don't want to use game.time, use your own timer. Set an attribute to 30 and then do a timer that lowers it by 1 every second. That way you will also go into minus, so times over 30 seconds will take score away, if you want.
