How do you hide milliseconds when making a countdown timer?

Questions & Answers

I’m making a countdown timer with a M:SS layout. Though when I do it, it shows the milliseconds. Here’s what I’ve done:

public Text timerText;

float seconds = 30;
float minutes = 1;

void Update ()
{
    seconds -= Time.deltaTime;

    if (seconds <= 0)
    {
        minutes -= 1;
    }

}

void OnGUI()
{
    timerText.text = minutes + ":" + seconds;
}

}

I would also like the answer in C Sharp form since I find Javascript hard… very hard…

Just round up you second counter in the OnGUI method.

void OnGUI()
     {
         timerText.text = minutes + ":" + Mathf.Round(seconds);
     }

Just change
float seconds
to

int seconds=30;

Take a look at C# string formatting: Custom Numeric Format Strings

Rounding is not actually what you want, for a stopwatch you usually only cut off the smallest increments. String formatting is also very flexible and easy to understand:

	public Text timerLabel;

	float seconds = 30;
	float minutes = 1;

	void Update()
	{
		seconds -= Time.deltaTime;
		if (seconds <= 0)
		{
			minutes -= 1;
		}
	}

	void OnGUI()
	{
		//timerLabel.text = minutes + ":" + seconds;
		timerLabel.text = string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);
	}

You simple put variables into a string like this:

string.Format("First variable: {0}, Second variable: {1}", minutes, seconds);

With “:00” you tell the formatter to only use two characters after the period, if the variable is a number.
