Backward Timer

[MortAr]

I was playing Vampirism for quite a bit and I saw that they had a countdown timer which was running backward, thus getting the expired time while playing the map. So I decided to test this and try to make it for a map of mine and this is with what I came up:

• TimerInit
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in time seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Expired Time:
    • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window)

• TimerCount
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set time = (time + 0.01)
    • Countdown Timer - Start timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in time seconds

It's quite simple yes, but I couldn't find a better way.

I'm trying to find out if this is risky, meaning, will it lag the map after the real reaches a really high value?

Well then start a map with this go away never come back then look

 

[Ciebron]

this will display it like its counting down

• Set RemainingTime = (Remaining time for Timer)

He wants to let the timer count up not down read before posting

Hm, the only thing I can think is that they made a leaderboard for that. I kind of achieved a similar timer:

P.S. It's not MPI, I made an example. If you want me to make it MPI, let me know :]

Nah, I'm pretty sure it is a countdown timer, since it's not expanded that much.
