Countdown timer? - Lajko1 - 26.07.2014

How can I make countdown timer for example 10 seconds? I don't want to do 10 new callbacks and 10 timers because it's silly what is other way of doing it?

Re: Countdown timer? - NaClchemistryK - 26.07.2014

pawn Код:
//under a callback
SetTimer("CountDown",10000,false);

//outside all callbacks
forward CountDown();
public CountDown()
{
}
This is how to create a 10 seconds countdown timer.

vartimer = SetTimer("CountDown",1000,false);

//outside all callbacks

public CountDown()
{
    CountDown --;
    if(CountDown == 9) GameTextForAll("9", 5000, 3 );
    if(CountDown == 8) GameTextForAll("8", 5000, 3 );
    if(CountDown == 7) GameTextForAll("7", 5000, 3 );
// goes on

    if(CountDown == 0) GameTextForAll("Countdown finish", 5000, 3 ); KillTimer(vartimer);
}

if you're gonna set the repeat-case to false, it will never count down until 0.
And you must kill the timer somewhere
