   Hello, i would like to make a timer in the scene.
   I couldnt find any solution how to.
   I heard that using cocoas NSTimer isnt recommended.

   So how do you schedule every second Count++; setString %,Count?

   Yes, there i need to use scheduled instead NSTimer. But there is problem, the result of timer is not 1..2.3... seconds, but Time: 0 changing with 0 -...

   timeLabel = [[CCLabel labelWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Time: 0"] dimensions:CGSizeMake(130, 25) alignment:UITextAlignmentCenter fontName:@"Arial" fontSize:20.0] retain];
   
   [self schedule:@selector(timer:)];

   -(void)timer:(ccTime)dt
    {
   	 ccTime count;
   	 count +=dt;
   	[timeLabel setString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Time: %i",count]];
   }

   Why my script is not working properly?

   ccTime is a float, not an integer
