Unity - Create a timer clock (minutes & seconds) using Time.timeSinceLevelLoad C#

: Travis Nuske; 11 Nov 2019

Converting Time.timeSinceLevelLoad into hours, minutes & seconds using C# and display it as a clock.

Create a TextMeshPro UI object and attach the following script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using TMPro;

public class LevelTimer : MonoBehaviour
{
 TextMeshProUGUI timerText;

// Start is called before the first frame update
 void Start()
 {
 timerText = GetComponentInChildren<TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI>(); // cache the text component
 }

// Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {
 
 float t = Time.timeSinceLevelLoad; // time since scene loaded

float milliseconds = (Mathf.Floor(t * 100) % 100); // calculate the milliseconds for the timer
 
 int seconds = (int)(t % 60); // return the remainder of the seconds divide by 60 as an int
 t /= 60; // divide current time y 60 to get minutes
 int minutes = (int)(t % 60); //return the remainder of the minutes divide by 60 as an int
 t /= 60; // divide by 60 to get hours
 int hours = (int)(t % 24); // return the remainder of the hours divided by 60 as an int

timerText.text = string.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}.{3}", hours.ToString("00"), minutes.ToString("00"), seconds.ToString("00"), milliseconds.ToString("00"));
 }
}
