Hello everyone,

I was wondering if its possible to display a timer on the screen, that would counts from 5 minutes to zero, as that is what im gonna use. My scripting knowledge is basically zero, so if someone wants to help me out, thankyou

Thanks

this is definitely possible, but with waw theres a string limit and something like this would break it im pretty sure. best way to do it would be through menu files as they dont add to this limit.
with the string limit as i mentioned, each time the timer changes, thats a new string, 5 minutes would be around 300 strings alone.
menu files a lot of people can mess up easily too, if you want to continue i can probably make a simple tutorial for adding a menu timer

you should use the timer hud element which once set will count down but you will need to delete the timer hud element once it reaches 0,this is how the campaign does timers.

Or even use the clock hud element which is what is used for the stopwatch in der riese . it can have any time set for the max time.

Timer:

Timer with tenths of seconds shown:
