    countdown timer

    hi.
    im making a game and i need to have a countdown timer that will count down from 15. i tried using the timer functions but they weren't much use. i have created an edit box with a variable name of time. in the starting script i have put

    time = 15

    and then in a seperate script i have put

    time - 1

    and made that script run every 30 frames becuase the file is playing at 30 fps. when i run the game the edit box just stays on 15. how can i fix this?

    Either

    time=time-1

    or

    time-=1

    both should work.
