Easiest way would be using Project Blue and the script below:

desc = countdown

:state=0:dimvar=timer,setvar=timer 300,etimerstart,state=1
:state=1,etimergreater=1000:subvar=timer 1,etimerstart
:state=1,varless=timer 1:plraddhealth=-100,state=2

:state=2:setvar=timer 300,etimerstart,state=1

:always:printval=%timer

Does that variable substitution code work in vanilla FPSC X9 or X10 (setvar=n n) then? That'll probably explain why it didn't work for me xD. I just did addvar=2, and then like varequal=6 and it wouldn't work. And would this work if other scripts took advantage of the same variable or would it have to be the globalvar?

Nope, it won't work unfortunatley Stock uses a different variable system to PB, and it doesn't have the print val command.

I see. Thanks for that anyway . So the stock variable system is only var[whatever]=1 and not var[whatever]=binary1 binary2? Sorry if I'm not making sense, my English exam sucked all my intelligence out for the day .

Here is a
for the stock engine that has a 5 second delay for testing.

Here is a
for the stock engine that should do your 5 minute delay.
Mind you, nothing else should be starting the global timer during that time or it will reset the timer and start the count again.

Thanks CE for providing code for the stock engine. There is a lot that can be coded using the stock engine without having to use a mod.

@Flatlander:

Marc said that it was the "easiest" way... not the only way.

This is especially true, if you want your timer to be displayed to the player. Although it is possible in vanilla FPSC, it's just easier with a Mod.


The one and only,

Yup, you can use my mod too and it would be easier. But, maybe he doesn't want a mod.
