n this Unity tutorial video I would like to show you how to create a countdown timer.
The value for how long the timer is counting backwards, can be set in the Inspectors panel. The technique, which is shown in this tutorial, can be used for pausing a game after an amount of time.
Some scripting knowledge is required for this course, and I recommend that you check the intro to scripting tutorials before taking this lesson.
An example use would be a section in your game, where you have one minute to collect 10 goodies.
