I´ve this:
Draw event:

draw_set_color(c_black);
 draw_text(view_xview[0]+view_wview[0]/20string_width(string(current_hour)+":"+string(curent_minute)+":"+string(current_second))/2,view_yview[0]+view_hview[0]string_height(string(current_hour)+":"+string(current_minute)+":"+string(current_second))1,string(current_hour)+":"+string(current_minute)+":"+string(current_second));

How to make the digital clock is up?

Room: 640*480

Timestamps are handled differently however GM has some functions for this.

Create Event

start_time = date_current_time();

Draw Event

now = date_current_time()-start_time;
draw_text(x,y,date_datetime_string(now));
// shows something like hh:mm:ss

A timestamp is the time elapsed from a specific start date and time. The date portion is the integer whilst the time the remainder. Look up "date_" in the help index for all the date and time functions.
