How do you make a text Overlay subtract every 5 seconds?

I tried this on my own and it doesn’t work (well, my method didn’t)

You have a loop that lowers a counter connected to a property every five seconds. In the property device, have it transmit on a channel that makes the overlay block code run.

Wait, why do we need a counter?

For the timer.
Basic idea is having a trigger that triggers itself (broadcasts and triggers on the same channe), having that trigger increment a Counter-Linked property, creating a channel in the “when property value changes, transmit on” setting and using that channel for the blockcode. (if you want to make the overlay update)

(Make the counter and property value 100 and the trigger blockcode to subtract from that property)
