When i recieve (game start message) -> set variable GAME_ON = 1 -> set variable TIMER_ON = 1 -> set variable TIMER = 0 -> repeat until GAME_ON = 0 -> if TIMER_ON = 1 -> change TIMER by 1 ((now make it so another script sends the “game start” message whenever the the game starts and make sure the TIMER variable is the only visible one, you can make other scripts like one to pause make it so “TIMER_ON” gets set to zero to pause the timer, then set it to one again to start it.))
