Ok I have this code that I got from old post :

PHP код:

new Time, TimeM, TimeS;
new Text:Textdraw0; 


PHP код:

Textdraw0 = TextDrawCreate(605.0,25.0,"5:00");
TextDrawBackgroundColor(Textdraw0, 0x000000AA);
TextDrawFont(Textdraw0, 3);
TextDrawLetterSize(Textdraw0, 0.5,1.5);
TextDrawAlignment(Textdraw0,3);
TextDrawSetOutline(Textdraw0, 2);
TextDrawSetProportional(Textdraw0, 1);
TextDrawColor(Textdraw0,0xFFFFFFFF);
TimeM = 5;
TimeS = 0;
Time = SetTimer("UpdateTime",1000, true); 


PHP код:

TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw0); 


PHP код:

forward UpdateTime();
public UpdateTime()
{
  new Str[34];
  TimeS --;
  if(TimeM == 0 && TimeS == 0)
  {
    KillTimer(Time);
  }
  if(TimeS == -1)
  {
    TimeM--;
    TimeS = 59;
  }
  format(Str, sizeof(Str), "%02d:%02d", TimeM, TimeS);
  TextDrawSetString(Textdraw0, Str);
  return 1;
} 


I want to make the textdraw start countdown from 5 minutes.But when I try IG its start from 4:30.

I can't understand what you mean.

Ive got all this code from old topic how to make timer textdraw.So I copy all of them and tried it in my server and its work.But as I know from that old post,I only need to change the

PHP код:

TimeM = 5;
TimeS = 0; 


to change the minutes and seconds.But when I tried it to change to 5 the textdraw start the countdown from 4:30.Thats the problem.

PHP код:

TimeM = 5;
TimeS = 30;

I tried it but it start at 5:02 but when I change the

PHP код:

TimeS = 24 


its start at 5:00 By the way,thanks.

it could be the reason that you put this in OnGameModeInit and it starts when you start the server not when you join the server
put a printf("%d:%d",TimeM,TimeS); under your textdraw create and in the updatetimer to see exactly if it countdowns right or not.

Nah my problem is its start at 5:02

Time units are relative and any unit can be converted to another. It is common knowledge that a minute is 60 seconds. Hence, 5 minutes is 5 x 60 = 300 seconds. So why two variables?

It then becomes:

PHP код:

forward UpdateTime();
public UpdateTime()
{
  if(--TimeS <= 0)
  {
    KillTimer(Time);
  }
    
  new Str[34];
  format(Str, sizeof(Str), "%02d:%02d", TimeS / 60, TimeS % 60);
  TextDrawSetString(Textdraw0, Str);
  return 1;
} 


Obviously set TimeS to 300 seconds (= 5 minutes).
