Does anyone know how to make a chronometer with its milliseconds, seconds, mins, etc. ?

Use counters and timer events...

Well, actually this is kinda hard. Isn't one MMF loop like 2-3 milliseconds?

So if you make :

Always
Add 1 to MilliCounter
If MilliCounter = 60, Add 1 to SecCounter

Would make it horribly slow? You could maybe add 2, but it would still be inaccurate.

I would do:

Always
Add 1 to MilliCounter
If Millicounter = 60
Set Millicounter = 0

Every second
Add 1 to SecCounter

Every minute
Add 1 to MinCounter

The millisecond counter would still be inaccurate, but it doesn't fuck up the rest.
Could be done accurate by fastloop and a plugin that reads the computers own time..

It's not hard at all.

The most accurate is creating one counter that adds 10 every 10 milliseconds. When the counter = 100: add 1 to the second counter and the millisecond counter back to 0. When the second counter = 60: set it back to 0 and add 1 to the minute counter. Etcetera.

The MMF loop is around 50 frames per second, so the always event will happen about every 2 milliseconds, so I'd recommend:

Always - Add 2 to millisecond counter

2 CENTISECONDS... A millisecond is 0.001 seconds.

2 hundredths of a second.
I would try the TimeX object and see if that works. If it doesn't, then you can't have milliseconds with it. If you're talking about hundredths of a second, then you can do that.
