Hi,

I have a timer that counts down from 60 sec. I want to show the value of the timer on screen counting down to 0.  
Currently with the blocks I am using, it just shows the initial value (60) but does not change the value.  
Please help.

What happens when you set the label to the timer value in the whole loop?

So this worked. Now the value on screen counts down to 0.
