Game.Reset() and the timer
« on: November 07, 2012, 11:56:41 PM »

Hello,

Just a quick question about the Game.Reset(); method - it says in the docs that it sets the timer to zero, however when playing in debug mode, the "timer" that is displayed in green on the right is NOT reset to zero when I call Game.Reset();

Is this right? Is there another timer in the game that gets reset to zero? It doesn't matter either way - I would just like to know, so that I know my "reset" is working properly.  :)

Thanks.

Hi,

I have the same issue, so it needs to use some tricks to "zeroing" timer.

The documentation is wrong. Reset() doesn't zero the timer because it would break some vital stuff.
You should be able to create a script that will periodically update some global variable, creating your own private timer.

Thanks guys. I'm not actually using the timer for anything. I just noticed that it wasn't set to zero, and wanted to make sure that was correct. :)
