TDK's Timer Tutorial

I advice using the forum search in future. Cause it's sucks, try google as well. Plus you can get loads of results typing this first 'site:forum.thegamecreators.com ' followed by what you want to search for.

A dream is a fantasy, if you achieve that fantasy it was never a dream to begin with.
