Timer Countdown problem

Question

good evening I would like to make a countdown timer of, and in my onCollision I incremented by 20 seconds. I have done this but it did not work:

         if(hit.gameObject.tag == "HouseCollider"){
         //increment timer
         timer+=60;
         UpdateComponents("time");
     }

And on my UpdateComponents :

         if(component == "time"){
             GameObject.Find("time").guiText.text=""+timer;
         }

I have a 3DText to display my timer : function OnGUI () {

     //60 seconds for begining tests (timer = 60)
    var guiTime = timer - (Time.time - startTime);
    var minutes : int = guiTime / 60;
    var seconds : int = guiTime % 60;
    var fraction : int = (guiTime * 100) % 100;
 
    textTime = String.Format ("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:000}", minutes, seconds, fraction);
    GameObject.Find("time").guiText.text=""+textTimer

And i don't know why timer didn't increment by 20 seconds .

Ok. I've made my variant in c#.. here is screen

alt text

My Text3dScript.cs

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Text3dScript : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     float startTime;
     TextMesh textMesh;
     
     public static float timer = 60;
     
     void Start()
     {
         startTime = Time.time;
         textMesh  = this.gameObject.GetComponent<TextMesh>();
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         
         float guiTime = timer - (Time.time - startTime);
         if (guiTime > 0)
         {
             int minutes = (int)(guiTime / 60);
             int seconds  = (int)(guiTime % 60);
             int fraction = (int)((guiTime * 100) % 100);
     
             textMesh.text = string.Format ("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:000}", minutes, seconds, fraction);    
         }
     }
 }

my TriggerScript is

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class triggerScript : MonoBehaviour {
 
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider c)
     {
        Text3dScript.timer += 20;
     }
 }

How can you see. All is ok, and works
