OK three questions, anyone qho can help will be greatly admired by me (arent you lucky :P)

First thing - Timers. i want to know how to set up a timer that is displayed on the screen, and i want to know how to make another timer appear after that timer runs out.

Second thing - Leaderboards. i want to know how to set the leaderboards, i just cant figure them out (i want it to display the amount of kills a player has)

Third thing - Timed spawning. at the start of a timer, i want to know how to make units spawn at regions. for example. if a timer starts that is set to 5 minutes, i want 'unit A' to be created at 'region A'. but i only want him made at the start of the timer, not during it. thanks for any help!

(BTW, im creating a remake of outpost 30 from SC if your wonderin)
