make timer variable (ctrl+B)->add variable->choose timer, named the variable ex time

then make triggers

• Init Timer
• Events
• Map initialization (or whatever you want)
• Actions
• Countdown Timer - Start time as One-shot timer that will expire in ... seconds

• Time Expires
• Events
• Time - time Expires
• Actions
• Bla Bla Bla Wins ....

If you want make timer window

• Timer Window
• Events
• Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01s (or whatever events except map init)
• Actions
• Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for time with title "bla bla"

So you need this:
Time elased in game is 1 second
timer create timer that expires in ...
set a = last created timer
Show a

a expires
victory

Hi,

thanks for your help sir, but im quite confused on the second part especially on the conditions thingy, and the green question mark which says blah blah wins. and the timer window too.
can u kindly provide more screenshots please? or please kindly specify those things sir?
The
timer window and the conditions for the second part is very confusing .

thanks.

• Events
  • Time - Timer1 expires
• Conditions
