Let me know if you have any questions :)

Thank you very much, Travis! This is very helpful and has given me insight on what route I need to take on this. This isn't quite what I need though. I'm trying to create a lens that counts down to from September 21st. I know that is quite a lot. If you know of something that already does this, that would be absolutely amazing. I doubt something like that exist. I'm not good at scripting, and have no clue where to start on making something like this. I will give it a shot though. Thank you again!

Got it, so you want to basically show number of days, hours and minutes until September 21st?  

Yes! Exactly!

Hi, Zachery.

Did you find how to add a countdown in your lens?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I did not.

Hello Zachery and Takinours, 

Here is a great video tutorial on how to make a count down timer using Lens Studio that you can find here.

If you need to get current time of your device you can get it using this line of code:

var currentDate = new Date();

currentDate.getMonth(); // This will get the current month and will return string from (0-11)

function monthCal(value)

{

switch(value)

{

case"0":

return"January";

case"1":

return"February";

case"2":

return"March";

case"3":

return"April";

case"4":

return"May";

case"5":

return"June";

case"6":

return"July";

case"7":

return"August";

case"8":

return"September";

case"9":

return"October";

case"10":

return"November";

case"11":

return"December";

}

}

var currentDataOutput = new Date();

var month=monthCal(currentDataOutput.getMonth().toString());

var finalDate=month+" "+currentDataOutput.getDate().toString() +", "+currentDataOutput.getFullYear().toString();

 


print("Current Date is: " +finalDate);

 

function monthCal(value)

{

switch(value)

{

case"0":

return"January";

case"1":

return"February";

case"2":

return"March";

case"3":

return"April";

case"4":

return"May";

case"5":

return"June";

case"6":

return"July";

case"7":

return"August";

case"8":

return"September";

case"9":

return"October";

case"10":

return"November";

case"11":

return"December";

}

}

Thanks Amir!
