Stopwatch / Timer going upwards

[MrKim]

I've got this script here;

timer.Create("Timer name", 10, 1, function()
	--Stuff goes here
end)
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "Paint_DrawTimer", function()
	if timer.Exists("Timer name") then
		draw.DrawText( string.ToMinutesSeconds(timer.TimeLeft("current_time")), "DermaLarge", 850, 5, Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER )
	end
end)

And I was wondering firstly how I put this into Formatted Time ( 00:00:00:00 ) instead of ToMinutesSeconds and how do I make it count up instead of down with 2 commands, stop and start.

If you could help that would be brilliant. Thanks :D

As for counting upwards, invert the counter. Instead of using Counter - CurTime() record the opposite. So save a value when the timer was started and just work from there. ReSave each time and record every time it's stopped/started with the appropriate adjustments
