Creating a Countdown
|
Ok,
I'm trying to figure out how to create a count down sort of timer this is what I have so far
#ALARM -1
{
#IF(@Timer > 0) {
#ADD Timer -1
}
{
@Timer = 600
}
}
Is that remotely close?
I want to create a seconds countdown starting from 600 (or 10 minutes). Then I use the @timer variable for a guage that shows the time visually. |

Something like that could work, but you should be aware that there is no guarantee that this will keep proper time. The alarm will try to go off every second, but if other commands are being executed, the alarm may have to wait.
Is there a reason you can't use the built-in tick timer? What are you using this for? |
