Hi Core,

You can simply do the same in your main Scence by defining a function startTimer can call the same from where you want to call like on some button click.

You can refer more Unity Sample available on Git Hub. I am also sharing sample source code how you implement the same.
 

    using UnityEngine;
    using System.Collections;
    using com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.csharp;
    using com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.csharp.timer;
    public class UnitySample : MonoBehaviour, App42CallBack
    {
        void Start ()
        {
         string timername = "demo";
        string userName = "demo";
        App42Log.SetDebug (true);
        App42API.Initialize("API_KEY","SECRET_KEY");  
        }
        
        void OnGUI ()
        {
        //UI Creation code
        }
        
        //Start timer by calling this method
        void startTimer(){
         TimerService timerService =  App42API.BuildTimerService();  
        timerService.StartTimer(timerName, userName, new UnityCallBack());
        }
        //Success Callback
        public void OnSuccess(object response)  
            {  
                Timer timer = (Timer)response;  
                App42Log.Console("Timer Name is: "+timer.GetName());  
                App42Log.Console("UserName is:" + timer.GetUserName());  
                App42Log.Console("Current time is:" + timer.GetCurrentTime());  
                App42Log.Console("Start time is:" + timer.GetStartTime());  
                App42Log.Console("End time is:" + timer.GetEndTime());  
            }  
            //Exception Callback
        public void OnException(Exception e)  
            {  
                App42Log.Console("Exception : " + e);  
            }
    }

Let me know if more queries are concern.

Thanks

Assets/scripts/time.cs(36,33): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Exception' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
i get error when i use this code

---

Add namespace using System;
Also change the line
timerService.StartTimer("demo", "demo",this);

---

also i like to know
in the dashboard timer do not have username filed so will it be handled in background like attaching the timer to username we give in code ?
if it was not pls explain

---

Yes, You can send the user name that you have set using App42API.setLoogedinUSer API
