I need help... Trying to make a timer but an overlay. Is this possible?

So I am making a Hunger Games Style Gimkit Map and I want to make it so I can count down from 10 and run a channel to release everyone on there “platforms” using an overlay. Countdowns would work if I could get them to disappear after reaching the targeted number but it does not work. Thanks!!

This shouldn’t be too hard.

It requires some block code though.

You need a trigger loop and a property set up as well. You might need a counter. Have the trigger loop, which is 2 triggers triggering each other, decrement the value of the property or counter every second. You need a delay of 1 second on the trigger that initiates the loop. Have a block inside of the overlay device activate on that trigger loop. The block code should be like this:
Set text: Create text With: "Time Before End:
------------------------------------------------------ Get Property: Time Before End

I have never used blocks by the way.

The block code should be connected with the channel the trigger loop transmits. Have the property’s base value as like 240 seconds for 4 minutes. It could be less.

How do I put this in a block? Not familiar with this… Copy and Paste?

Each piece separated by the : is a block piece. You have to go to the block code and connect them like how the thing I showed is. The block code area has block pieces and some are in different sections.

if only we had pictures still. It would be so much easier

We do have pictures? Is it something on your end that doesn’t allow the pictures to appear?
Can you see this?

Yes… Weird… I can see this one.

Usually I can’t see them

Are the ones you can’t see on an old guide?

So can you send me a picture of the block? It would be so much easier

Yes. They are old ones

There was an image purge to save space. The images were all deleted on old guides. New images can be seen or if the OP readds the images.

Okay. Thank you for the clarification. So I guess I can see images. Pictures would be a lot easier.

Here it is:

Block Code


Also, the names of the channels and property are customizable. You don’t have to name them like mine.
