Please read the AUP regarding duplicate accounts. Every account has to go through an approval period, during that time your posts will be hidden and awaiting approval, and will only show up once a moderator has approved them.

How are you updating f_time#?

One method would be to store the timer() variable at the start of the level, then use that to work out the elapsed time...

start_time=timer()
do
cur_time=timer()
elapsed_time=cur_time-start_time
elapsed_seconds#=elapsed_time/1000.0
/do stuff
sync
loop

Then you can use elapsed_seconds# <= 50.0
The code is dark and full of errors

Well, whoever is approving these isn't paying much attention. This is like his 4th or 5th account now with the same question.
This guy isn't serious about coding... or, if he is, he's 11 years old ( at least mentally) and completely clueless as to how to use a discussion forum!
