automaticly countdowning text on screen ?

[goki]

Hi,

I guess in some original mission, countdown was being shown on screen. Do I remember right? Is there any easy way to countdown on screen while player plays? I don't want to make hundreds of triggers which have text of 4.59 and then 4.58 to make a 5 minutes countdown appear on screen !   there should be some easier way ain't it?  


thanks for reading

taam = taam -0.01
~0.01

High, ( hi )  ;D



thanks for replying, now I am overloaded with job but I will try it very soon.


Man, LCD , how do you know writing those commands? how did you learn to speak in this language?  ( I mean ofpec command language...  not english cause you are speaking a different thing yet       ) eheh heh  hehh   ;D     just kidding    

 I mean everybody like me, we are using stupid triggers and some like you, you are using the most working, professional ways, shortcuts of editing. I drive at, sometimes I want to just open a notepad and say to computer to do something but I don't know the command language of ofpec actually.

I mean what are the keywords in this language? what is the logic of this? how can I learn? how much time did it take for you?

also how about Iraq nowadays? (   I just wondered    )


thanks, see ya

Hi ya,

Dude I am sorry, I know, delay of me is unbelievable,

hey it didn't worked too ! hey was your code compatible with 1.0 version?

man, I pasted those words to a notepad paper and saved it as "all files" with a name "taam.sqs" and called it with exec command and it gave those white sentences on the top of the screen (u know error in variable stuff...)


So maybe someone who is not bored of this topic makes a favor and send a mission file in which this "countdowning" is showed. please keep in mind it needs to be compatible with 1.0 version ( I wish u don't ask me ""what the heck are u using that version for" cause it is a very long story )

thanks LCD and people who may send that file to me.

cheers
