Multiboard Countdown timer value issue

heres the plan....
I have a trigger that creates a multiboard and this multiboard show lots of various stuff, including a timer countdown, well the value of the remaining time. Now i know i need to make a trigger to update the multiboard item that displays the remaining time left on the countdown timer, so i made one that updates it every 1 second of the game...but!...

The mutliboard is only designed to come up occasionally so i made ther trigger not intially on, and the trigger that creates the multiboard turns the trigger on.

Heres the problem --> the trigger that updates the value on the multiboard wont seem to work.

So does any1 have an idea of what i can do to make the multiboard display the countdown timer value and so it always updates to the time left?

note: using a countdown timer window is not an option on this occasion.

periodic event should work. Give us your triggers to let us see whats wrong.

Ok the first one makes the multiboard then turns on the second trigger which updates the time on the multiboard.

Turn the second trigger "Initialy on" to true. It wont matter if it updates a multiboard that doesn't exist.
