How to add more time to a countdown timer?

Dell7730

This is my basketball game and the rule is, if there's only 20 seconds left in the game and you made a successful shot, it's supposed to add 15 seconds more to the timer as a reward.

This is my countdown timer:

Text display abs(prec(game.My Timer,2))

Constrain Attribute game.My Timer to 180-(game.Time-game.Start Time)
Change Attribute game.Start Time to game.Time

so say for example

if game.My Timer is less than 20 seconds and game.Ball Score is True

then???? (how do I add 15 seconds more?)

I tried Change Attribute game.My Timer to game.My Timer+15 and it does not work, I thought it would since that's the same formula I used on all others like counting throws, hits and misses

Nevermind, found an alternative, not using the Timer anymore, instead, using an integer as timer and works flawlessly

Hey can u please explain how u got it to work, I'm in the same scenario where timer counts down and if a bonus pickup is collected i want it to add 10 seconds.

Thank you
