[HELP] Time isn't resetting

[LabiVila]

addEvent ("startCount", true) 
addEventHandler ("startCount", getRootElement(), 
    function () 
        ableToStart = true 
        if (ableToStart == true) then 
            addEventHandler ("onClientRender", getRootElement(), drawYourtime) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function handlerOnStart () 
    ableToStart = false 
    if (ableToStart == false) then 
        removeEventHandler ("onClientRender", getRootElement(), drawYourtime) 
    end 
end 
addEvent ("onClientMapStarting", true) 
addEventHandler ("onClientMapStarting", getRootElement(), handlerOnStart) 
  
function drawYourtime () 
    if not ut then 
        ut = getTickCount () 
    end 
    aut = getTickCount () 
    yourTime = formatMilliseconds (aut - ut) 
     
    dxDrawText (yourTime, 1275, 35, x, y, tocolor (255, 255, 255, 200), 1, "default-bold") 
end 

I want 'yourTime' to reset everytime the map changes, but it's actually continuing where it left off, any help?

When is startCount triggered?

Adding ut = nil in the startCount event handler could solve your problem, depending on when startCount is triggered.

Awesome, it's working startCount was triggered 'onRaceStateChanging (state == "running")', however, I tried settingut = 0 but it didn't work, shouldn't it?

[JR10]

The way the drawYourTime checks for ut, it shouldn't work. It checks if ut is nil or not, if it is it sets ut to the current tick count. So, if ut is set to zero, it won't update its value.

if not ut or ut == 0 then 

This way it'll update it if it's equal to zero.

You could just update ut whenever the event is triggered and not worry about updating it in the drawYourTime function.

Okay I totally get it, thank you so much
