Literally the best tutorial I have ever seen. No nonsense, no begging for subs and likes, just straight the point 💯👌
Thank you for the simplicity. Too many UE tutorials are needlessly 15-20 minutes long as the uploader must add an obnoxious intro, + "MaKe SuRe To LikE aNd SuBsCrIbE" + the uploader's entire life story up to this point + over 10 minutes of unedited footage of them fumbling through the user interface + "it's really simple guys, just purchase my asset on the Unreal marketplace for $59.99 to solve this" OR "just include this insanely bloated plugin/library that hasn't been updated since 2015 that includes 5000 useless functions and no documentation just for this one trivial feature"
I completely agree with your perspective on most of the tutorials 😂 Thank you so much for the feedback and support I really appreciate it 😁🙏💯
Zen meditation vibes tutoral
You've got a new sub. This is the most perfect tutorial I've ever seen on YT. Thank you!
I love the simplicity of your videos, straight to the point, can be simply applied everywhere, keep it up❤🔥
Thank you for the feedback and support I really appreciate it 🔥❤️🔥😁🙏
THX SO MUCH!!! Of all Timer tutorials on YT this is the quickest, most precise and simplest 🙏🙏🙏
I'm glad I could help 😁 Thank you for the feedback and support I really appreciate it 🙏💯
These are so much better than the other tutorials I've seen. Those are 40 minutes long, always start with "open up the third person example project lololol" and they have Blueprint spaghetti which you can't even read because half the screen is covered by a blank Details tab they can't be bothered clicking the X.
This channel is short, to the point, actually explains things. Simplicity rules.
@@halfbakedproductions7887 Thank you so much for the feedback and support I really appreciate it! 😁🙏
Great works perfect!
I appreciate these straight and simple tutorials. Subscription incoming
amazing tutorial, straight to the point. Your voice is like the most relaxing thing man, keep it up!
Thank you I really apprciate the feedback and support ! 😁🙏
For VR what would be the replacement for hud?
Friend, how do I show the time result at the end of the phase?
I've watched like 5 different videos showing off the longest most overly complex way of doing this and then I found yours and was dumbfounded at how simple it was. Thank you so much. Though the one thing is, is there a way to get it to display more digits if we wanted to? For example: 12:34:56.789 instead of just 12:34.56
Thank you I really appreciate it 😁🙏 Also as for the extra digits, I don't believe there is a way when using the Time Seconds To String node because it's format is minutes:seconds.milliseconds 💯
Got any tips on how to make an item pickup that increases a countdown timer? Been trying to work on a project that involves a constant countdown timer and I'm having trouble with increasing it.
Yeah no worries, I have a countdown timer tutorial on my channel so I would start with that first and if it'd be easier with screenshots then feel free to add me on discord "fcbdavis" if not then let me know and I can explain it here 😁🙏
how do i make a start-stop system for the timer?
Deserves more subs
Thank you I really appreciate it 😁🙏❤️🔥
yo this tutorial was so fast and simple but i did have one doubt. When I tried using the text as a variable in the event graph, it was of a type static text with the blue ellipse and not the blue T symbol I see in your video. This was stopping me from connecting the textblock_timer to the Set Text node. Do you know what might be the problem?
@@ifrozr The only thing you need to do to the text block is to click the box for Is Variable when inside the Designer and then in the Graph you drag from your text block to get the SetText (Text) node 💯
How do I stop the timer?
Is there any way to remove the milliseconds?
use integer instead of float
float❌ integer✅
It was so easy, that right now I feel like an empty soul.... thanks(?)
This was super helpful and the simplest method by far I found. I'm trying to use as a round/level timer but I would like to get the timer to stop where it is when the level is completed to show the player how long it took. Any suggestions on getting it to stop and display the time it stopped at?
Edit: Nevermind, got it working :) Thank you!
I'm glad I could help 😁 Thank you for the comment 🙏❤️🔥
How did u do it? I have been trying for some time and cant get it to work.
@@joonatand3008 Are you referring to making the timer stop/pause and to have it display how long it was? 🙏 If so then what would you like to be the cause of it to stop/pause as well as display? 💯 Also if screenshots are easier to follow then feel free to add me on discord "fcbdavis" 😁
@@FcbDev Yes I was refering for that stop/pause timer. I would want to make timer stop when I touch finish line something like block or go trough barrier.... Yes I will add u discord. Ty
@@joonatand3008 Alright sounds good 😁🙏
Hey I was wondering if you could assist me in completing this, I currently have a project due and I still can’t seem to get the hang of this? Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, is there a certain part that isn't working or is confusing? 🙏 If it's easier with screenshots then feel free to add me on discord "fcbdavis" 😁
You added it to your HUD but didn't show how to make a base empty HUD
My hud in this tutorial is just an empty widget blueprint with a canvas panel that I add all my other widgets to, you can add it to your screen by going to BeginPlay in your character bp and dragging out to Create Widget and from there drag and Add to Viewport 🙏💯
I'm guessing this is a method that can be used for an air metre for underwater gameplay?
Yes this can be used as an air meter for your player, I also have a countdown timer tutorial if you want it to countdown instead of up 😁🙏
Thank you! But timer shows in all Levels, how can i do, that shows only in the playing level?
Hello, the easiest way would be to open your Level Blueprint for the level that you want it in and to Create Widget from the BeginPlay 😁🙏 If it's easier with screenshots then feel free to add me on discord "fcbdavis" 💯
@@FcbDev When I search for fcbdavis in discord communities I get no results. Is there a link? Normally when I join discord I just click on a link
Thanks for a quick tutorial but I'm sad now. Nostalgic music and your voice dropped my happiness level by about 3 points :P and is just 1:25 min. I don't want to know what was an effect after a 10min video
Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it 😁🙏
I don't know why but the text won't update for me it still just says Text block, I tried to set up a binding for it in the widget and it just displays 00.00.01
@@Cjoudan In the tutorial we don't set up a binding, we make the text block a variable and then we set text in the graph 💯
do u know how to stop the timer when we finish the game?
Hello yes definitely, I have a Speedrun Timer tutorial on my channel that will show you how to do it 😁🙏
iv yet to see someone make a timer that could be saved and print on on a end widget. Say Start a level in zone A and end at Zone B then the time it takes to get there it saved.
This can be done 💯 Would you want the widget onscreen showing the time as it's going or only showup when you've finished/made it to the location? Feel free to add me on discord "fcbdavis" as it will be easier to explain with screenshots 😁🙏If not let me know and I'll explain it in here 👑
added "Azaru" without the "@@FcbDev
@@FcbDev could you do a quick video, i would like to do the same in my Game, therefore i need a timer that stops in the finish line/area
@@herbertnibba1850 Yes I could 💯 So to be clear you want like a speed run timer how it'll start counting when the game starts and will stop when you reach a certain area/place? Also did you want the final time to appear in like a win/game over screen when you reach that area/place? 🙏
@@FcbDev yes, a win screen would be awesome at the end
Do you know how to make a countdown? I'm trying to get the time to count from 10 down to 0, and then repeat.
Yes I do know how to make a countdown. Would it just be repeating each time it hits 0 or something else? You can use the same nodes within this video. Take the Time variable and set the default value to 10. then instead of adding world delta seconds you wannna subtract world delta seconds from the Time variable and after the subtract before it goes into the set Time you want to add Clamp(Float) and put your time variable as the maximum. As for the repeating part, I would need to know what you would like to be the cause of the repeat 😁🙏If this is hard to understand just let me know and ill make a Countdown Tutorial 💯
@@FcbDev Yea it would repeat every time it hits 0, sorry I didn't see this earlier. I am a little slow so I'll try what youre saying in the comment, but ill let you know if it works or not
@@FcbDev I would like it to repeat on its on, I got it to countdown from 10 to 0, thank you for that. I just need it to repeat the timer on a loop, so once it goes from 10 to 0, once it hits 0 it goes right back to 10 seconds, and then counts down to 0 again.
@@tankdjsims Perfect sounds good 😁 So to make it repeat you want to go to the Event Tick and disconnect the Time Node. Drag out your time variable and choose Get. From that variable drag out and get Less Than And Equal To 0. Then plug the Less Than And Equal To into a Branch. Plug the False of the branch into the Time Node that was connected before. For the True part of the branch, drag out your Time Variable and choose Set and change the value to 10 then from the Set Time you want to drag that into the Time Node that is connected to the False 💯🙏If you need more explanation just let me know 😁👌
@@FcbDev yesssss thank you so much, that works perfectly!
How would I pause this Timer?
If it would be easier with screenshots then feel free to add me on discord "fcbdavis", if not then let me know and I can explain it here 🙏💯
ok Thank you
@@FcbDev
@@FcbDevI would much appreciate you sharing this 😁
@@jucijosh2210 Start by making a Variable Bool in your Character Blueprint, I named it PauseTimer. Then make a new Blueprint Class, Actor, open that and on BeginPlay cast to your Character Blueprint and the object is Get Player Character and then drag from there and Promote to variable. Next in the Viewport you want to add a Box Collision and with it selected scroll down the details and get the On Component Begin Overlap. Drag from Other Actor and get an == with the other connection being your Player Variable that was made in Begin Play. Connect that to a Branch, drag out your Player Variable and Get and drag from there to Set PauseTimer or whatever you named your Bool and check the box True, connect it to the True on the Branch. Now go back into your Timer and on Event Pre Construct cast to your Character Blueprint and Promote it to a variable, then disconnect the Event Tick and drag out the Player Variable and Get, drag from there to Get PauseTimer and plug that into a Branch and then connect the Timer Event to the False. Now you should be able to place that Actor in your world and when your Player touches it then the Timer will Stop/Pause. Let me know if you have any questions or if something isn't making sense 😁🙏
How to not show milliseconds? Thank you
I personally don't think there is a way when using the Time Seconds to String node 🙏
Thank you for responding @@FcbDev
@@edwydennytwins No worries 😁💯
I used "chop left" node on the "time to seconds string". Though @FCbDev nice tutorial, thanks.
wtf i just watched a video crunching a bunch of numbers to make this and youre tellin me its literally 1 node.
I'm glad I was able to help 😁🙏❤️🔥
You need to speak up a little, you sound like you're being smothered by a pillow in your sleep.
