More Efficient Overlay Timer

Credit to JoeTheChicken (https://forum.creative.gimkit.com/u/JoeTheChicken) for inspiration. Here is the link to the original timer How to make a colon-separated timer (Difficulty: ). To create an overlay timer, you only need 3 properties, 1 game overlay device, 1 repeater, and 1 button/lifecycle. This saves slightly more memory than the original clock. Name one of each the properties “hours”, “minutes”, or “seconds” for organization. The properties should all have a starting value of 0 and…

did you use a guide like this?

If you want an overlay timer then you just need a lifecycle, repeater, property(name: timer, default value 900) and overlay.
Wires: Lifecycle(game start) [event occurs → start repeater] repeater (1.0 sec).
Channels: Repeater task run, broadcast on channel “sec” .
Blocks (for overlay when receiving on channel “sec”):
set variable “t” to get property “timer”
change variable “t” by -1
set text | Create Text with "Timer: "
---------------------------------------- variable “t”
--------------------------------------- “seconds”
set property “timer”
value variable “t”

but instead use a zone entered instead of lifecycle
