Sure,

All there = https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/TextDrawCreate

As an example i'd provide is:
First go on top of the script and do:

PHP код:

new CountdownNumber = -1; //setting a value to make sure it doesn't keep calling itself.
new TDTimer; //making a timer variable to kill it later 


go to the place where you want to make the countdown and do something like:

PHP код:

CountdownNumber = 5;// in this case its 5 seconds.
TDTimer = SetTimer("CountdownTextdraw",1000,true); //setting the timer for the function gets called every 1 second 


and then at the function itself would look like:

PHP код:

CountdownTextdraw()
{
    if(CountDownNumber != -1)
    {
        new TDString[10];//textdraw string
        format(TDString, sizeof(TDString), "%s", CountDownNumber);//formatting the textdraw's string to hold the number value.
        TextDrawSetString(textdrawid, string);//setting the textdraw's string.
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(ID,textdrawid);//showing the textdraw.
        CountdownNumber--;//Taking out -1 of the number's value to decrease it one by one.
        }
    else 
    {
        KillTimer(TDTimer);//Killing the timer for next use
        TextDrawHideForPlayer(ID, textdrawid); //hiding it after its done being used.
        }
    return 1;
} 


This is an example of a timer that works once, so you can't do this as a command that can be used 2 times in a row. You also didn't say if you wanted it for a player or not so you can change the SetTimer to SetTimerEx to pass a player's id you can also change the textdraw's type to a playertextdraw if that's what you're going for and so on...

This is what i wanted, so where should i place the created textdraw, under ongamemodeinit or onplayerconnect?

I edited my example so please review it and that also depends, do you want it to be a global one? create it at ongamemode/filterscript init but if you want it to be player textdraw then create it at OnPlayerConnect and destroy it at OnPlayerDisconnect.

Please re-edit your post to the original form to help others see it if they face the same query and to not confuse them.
NOTE: the question was about how to make a textdraw countdown. reason for the fix was the code i provided for anyone viewing this after a while.
