Making button activate timer countdown

[chaseacton]

Hello all, i am making a simple game where i need a button to activate a timer the counts down from 30 seconds, and then when it gets to 0 seconds, load another view. I have searched all day and found only bits and pieces of code that partially work, but nothing solid. Any code or sample projects would be appreciated.

Thanks, Chase

Is there a particular part you're having trouble with? I split your problem up into the three obvious parts.

1. Creating a UIButton that calls a function to do something when pressed
2. Creating a timer (NSTimer) that counts down 30seconds
3. Switching to another view

Could be done simply:

- (void) or - (IBAction) type method {
[NSTimer sch....interval:30.0 delegate:self selector:@selector(changeAction) and so on];
}

- (void)changeAction {
[self.view addSubview:anotherView];
}

I figured it out, thanks though.

could you post the code that you got to work. I'm trying to do a similar thing.

Thanks.
