Its a Timer with 90 minuts but in real time just 1 or 2 minutes to end the game, like Pes or Fifa…

You could use a task for this, something like:

import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from direct.gui.OnscreenText import OnscreenText
t = OnscreenText( scale = .15, mayChange = True )
def timer( task ):
  t.setText( str( int( round( task.time ) ) ) )
  return task.cont
taskMgr.add( timer, 'Timer' ) # or the next
# taskMgr.doMethodLater( 1, timer, 'Timer' )
run()

    print(t.setText(str( int( round( task.time ) ) )) )
AttributeError: Screen instance has no attribute 'time'

The Code is here…

from direct.gui.OnscreenText import OnscreenText
import direct.directbase.DirectStart 
from pandac.PandaModules     import *

t = OnscreenText( scale = .15, mayChange = True )

class Screen():

    def __init__(self, score):

        self.score = score

        self.textScore = OnscreenText(
            text  = "Vermelha   0 - 0   Azul",
            style = 1,
            fg    = (1,1,1,1),
            pos   = (0, 0.90),
            align = TextNode.ACenter,
            scale = .07
        )



        self.addInstructions(-0.70, "[W/I]: Frente")
        self.addInstructions(-0.75, "[A/J]: Esquerda")
        self.addInstructions(-0.80, "[D/L]: Direita")
        self.addInstructions(-0.85, "[Q/U]: Driblar")
        self.addInstructions(-0.90, "[E/O]: Rematar")
        self.addInstructions(-0.95, "[ESC]: Quit")


    def timer(task):
        print(t.setText(str( int( round( task.time ) ) )) )
        return task.cont


# taskMgr.doMethodLater( 1, timer, 'Timer' )
#run()

    def addInstructions(self, position, message):
        return OnscreenText(
            text  = message,
            style = 1,
            fg    = (1,1,1,1),
            pos   = (.85, position),
            align = TextNode.ALeft,
            scale = .05
        )

    def update(self):
        self.textScore.setText(
            "Vermelha   " + str(self.score["goalRed"]) + " - "
            + str(self.score["goalBlue"]) + "   Azul"
        )
        taskMgr.add( self.timer(), 'Timer' ) # or the next

The game have a menu, and when the “Start Game” button is pressed, the Timer should appear counting from 0 to 90 minutos…but in real time counting just 1 or 2 minutes…

If you can help me i appreciate…

Thanks,
André.

def timer(task):

In your code, this is a method of the Screen class, so its signature should be something like:

def timer( self, task ):

And you shouldn’t pass the result of an invocation to the add() method:

taskMgr.add( self.timer(), 'Timer' )

but the reference of the method:

taskMgr.add( self.timer, 'Timer' )

very thanks…

But now, i just dont know how i show a timer from 0 to 90 and in real time 1 minute…
And the timer work, but appear on other window of Panda…it opens other window and the timer it on him…
And the timer should appear on the window of the Game, not on a grey window… :confused:

And how i stop the timer on 90?

Thanks,
André.

Maybe you are saving the value startTime at the wrong moment; try saving it when the match actually starts.
