Yes both Timer and TimerMin would roll over at midnight and probably aren't all that useful for timing despite their function names lol.

If you want to count seconds independant of a midnight rollover, you can use the "DateUnix" function which returns the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 and has no rollover.
