Then what the OP saying makes sense. And he has to change how the skin works completely to achieve what he wants. If I understood correctly that is.
Morley uses real time and not updates, so pausing or deactivating the measure would not change the time passed. That is, it will directly jump to the total time passed, regardless of other measures. Even if the skin is unloaded and loaded again.

Well, that would be fine from my part. I was never a fan of using Lua or other kind of scripts in cases where native Rainmeter can do the job. Also, I would gladly avoid the mess the code has become...
Personally, I would just rewrite the whole thing in plain Rainmeter, but that's just me. If anyone has a better idea, I'm listening.
EDIT: Or, he could just edit balala's countdown timer and ask him what to do when he breaks it...

Sorry to bump, but could someone please help?
I'm wondering if I'm expecting too much with my expected functions 1 + 2 above. Are they even possible with the inclusion of the Lua script? I've tried everything and don't understand where the problem lies. I think it's likely a formula, but I have no idea where to start with these!
Even if I read Yincognito's reply I still believe that death.crafter is right when he says that

A full config including the lua would ave been helpful.
Additionally note that it's not clear when sl23's ask about:

Which are your the "1 + 2 above" functions, because in your previous reply (not saying that it has been posted two days earlier) there are three points. Now I know that those three points has a 1 + 2 functions, however I still believe that when asking for help, any user could be a little bit more precise, helping us to help. Sorry, I don't want to seem rude, but that's it...

For the first time I agree on use of native Rainmeter. You can just set and write a starting timestamp and then using the current timestamp you can calculate how much time has passed and how much remains.
And if you have to pause, you can write a pause or close time stamp and on resume you can subtract that timestamp from current and add that to the total time. So your total time remains constant even after break. Like if you paused at 30:23 for 5 mins, it will start at 30:23 and not 25:23. But in Rainmeter this will take a lot of measures.
