Hi all.

For my current project I need to have a timer set for 15 minutes, and if you havn't completed the level by then, there will be a massive explosion. Any thoughts on how I could do this? All help is appreciated. :)

The RealityFactory.chm help file located in Reality Factory's docs folder has instructions on how to display the counter. Just search for "countdowntimer" and read about the entity.

I suggest you download a CHM help file reader from the web there are a lot of free readers on the web. There are also converters that will convert the CHM file to different formats. I converted it to HTML and put in on my FTP site so you can see the instructions. I'm not going to leave this up so as I suggested you should get a reader for CHM files.

CountDownTimer Entity Documentation

Full Reality Factory Documentation

I would suggest putting the RF documentation on the RF website so we can link to it when someone asks a question that is answered in the documentation.
