Prerequisites 

 

Unity Environment version 2018.4.25f1

 

Create the project 

 

 

Create the UI Text ( user interface ) in unity

 

First, add a UI Text if there is no canvas. It is created automatically. Then, click on the "GameObject" menu in the menu bar. Select UI and pick the "Text" option.

the logic with the game over in unity so first let me create a script first I am going to create a c-sharp script.

 

Create C# Script, Right-click on Assets. Select Create >> C# script.

 

 

 

Rename the script as TimerGameOverLogic.

 

 

 

Double click in Scene and it will open Visual Studio 2019, which is my programming integrated development environment (IDE) for Unity. Write the code as shown below:

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

public class TimerGameOverLogic: MonoBehaviour {
  int countDownStartValue = 120;
  public Text timerUI;

  void Start() {
    countDownTimer();
  }

  void countDownTimer() {
    if (countDownStartValue > 0) {
      TimeSpan spanTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(countDownStartValue);
      timerUI.text = "Timer : " + spanTime.Minutes + " : " + spanTime.Seconds;
      countDownStartValue--;
      Invoke("countDownTimer", 1.0 f);
    } else {
      timerUI.text = "GameOver!";
    }
  }
  void Update() {}
}

Save the Program

 

Drag and drop the TimerGameOverLogic script onto the UITimer

 

 

Drag and drop the UITimer onto the TimerGameOverLogic script.
