Can sumone give me a good, and understandable timer leaderboard. I want to make a leaderboard that has a countdown from 40 minutes. Can sumone make me a tutorial that says like what varibles and triggers as well as the catagories that they r under. (Event, Condition, Action)

Okay... i got every thing but how do i make it so that it counts down in minutes and seconds? Im trying to get it so that it shows like...

40:00 then counts down like 39:59, 39:58, 39:57 and so on and so forth

simple simply make the timer long. 60 seconds 1 minute. 180 is 3 minutes. 40 minutes is 2400 seconds. Just set your timer equal to that and it should work.

Event -
Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds

Actions -
Wait 1.00 seconds

Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Time Left

Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 2400.00 seconds

Ahem... Take a closer look...

Action 1: Make A timer window for LAST STARTED TIMER

Action 2: Start a new Timer

there's your problem right there. How are the triggers supposed to know what the last started timer is if you start the timer AFTER action 1?

btw, There is a very good link in my sig that explains the Vars, Events, Conditions, Actions, and Functions. You mentioned you needed one, so...
