I have a parkour game I am trying to make and I was wondering if anyone had a free timer code that you can reset with pressing a key code, since I don’t know what I am doing (since I started game dev just a month ago).

-thanks

Create a script named Timer and paste this code in it:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float timer = 0;
    void Update()
    {
        //Same as: timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
        timer += Time.deltaTime;
    }
    public ResetTimer()
    {
        timer = 0;
    }
}

Then you can call the timer float in your UI to show it to you player.
If you want to reset you timer, you just have to call ResetTimer() with a button for exemple.
Tell me if you need more help.

This works so well. but what if I want it to reset it by pressing the R key on a keyboard in real life

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float timer = 0;

    void Update()
    {
        timer += Time.deltaTime;

        // Check if the R key is released
        if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.R))
        {
            ResetTimer();
        }
    }

    void ResetTimer()
    {
        timer = 0;
    }
}

Input.GetKeyUp() checks if the R key is released, and if so, it calls the ResetTimer() method.
