A counter of time that start from the time that I want

[Andy Coder]

Hi,
Now I explain you what I'm trying to make:
I want a macro that count my playing time of a game and store it. To do this I made a macro that start a stopwatch when I run the game, and stop it when I close the game, and it starts from the last time when I re-run the game. But I want that the stopwatch starts from 6 hours, because before making this rom I played 6 hours in that game. How I make it? Either do you know another way to do that I'm trying to do?
Thank you.

There's no simple way to manually set value of stopwatches, so you can just let them run for 6 hours to get to that time or add that 6 hours to the stopwatch somewhere else in your macro output.

Stopwatch is probably not the best way to achieve what you want to because stopwatches are reset every time MD (re)boots.

You'd better use a local integer variable and calculate elapsed time between end system time and start system time when you launch/close your app.

If you need further help, tell us.

It's that I did. The problem is another.

Which one ?

Which one ?

The problem is that I would like to make my stopwatch (a stopwatch with his valie stored and not restarted) from a value that I choose, and not from 00:00:00.

I believe that's incorrect.

 

[Dm114]

I believe that's incorrect.

I must admit I didn't checked but some other members warned a newbie and, to me, it seems logical.
I'll try it later

You are right!

Anyway I believe it's not the best way for @Andy Coder to achieve what he wants to do
