##TO DO
##Create a script that can correctly convert the countdown timer from seconds
##into minutes, seconds, and miliseconds.
##There doesn't appear to be a property for the timer class for this in the
##Documentation so we will need to do this ourselves.

##Once we have the time remaining converted properly we can then get to work
##Displaying it on the UI.

#using an export varible to set Timer.wait_time so I don't need to go between
#tabs so much.
static var timerWaitTime : int = 120

#storing timer as a var incase we need get and set functions later down the line
@onready var countdownTimer := $countdownTimer

#first approach we're going to do will involve storing minutes, seconds and
#milliseconds as seperate varibles which we will then set as label text.
var timerMinutes : int
var timerSeconds : int
var timerMilliseconds : int

func _ready():
    countdownTimer.wait_time = timerWaitTime
    countdownTimer.start()


func _process(delta):
    #take wait_time property and truncate the time so we are only left with whole seconds.
    #We can deal with the fractions of a seconds later.

    timerSeconds = int(countdownTimer.time_left)
    #print("Seconds remaining: ", timerSeconds)

    timerMinutes = timerSeconds / 60
    #print(timerMinutes)

    #Subtract the remaining minutes so we're only left with the seconds
    for minutes in timerMinutes:
        timerSeconds -= 60

    var timerOutput : String

    #cant think of a way to run this through a switch case in a way that isnt
    #stupid so I'm using if else
    if timerSeconds <= 9:
        %TimerLabel.text = str(timerMinutes, " : 0", timerSeconds)

    else:
        %TimerLabel.text = str(timerMinutes, " : ", timerSeconds)
