function drawDisplay() 
            local message = "Your car will be spawned in"..tonumber(10).." seconds." 
            dxDrawText(message,2,2,resX + 2,102,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2,"default-bold","center","center",true,true,false) 
            dxDrawText(message,0,0,resX,100,tocolor(255,255,255,200),2,"default-bold","center","center",true,true,false) 
end 
  
function startDisplay(jTime) 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawDisplay) 
end

You can do it with

setTimer() 
getTimerDetails()

Well can u help me with that? Thanks.

yourTimer = setTimer(function() 
    --Script stuff (spawnVehicle) 
end, 10000 --[[Time in milliseconds]], 1 --[[Times to execute]]) 

And then, with 'getTimerDetails', you can check how much time is left and put it inside of the DX functions.

I still don't get it.. i tried it but it doesn't work.

I'm sure that there is a way to count from 10 to 0.

local message = "Your car will be spawned in"..tonumber(10).." seconds." 

Well if there is not, can u help with the "getTimerDetails" ? Thanks mate.

This is how i would do it (not tested by the way, but hopefully you'll get the general idea):

function drawDisplay() 
    if isTimer(theTimer) then -- Check if timer is running to prevent errors 
        local timeLeft = mstoSec(getTimerDetails(theTimer)) -- Get ms from timer and convert to seconds 
  
        local message = "Your car will be spawned in"..tostring(timeLeft).." seconds." 
        dxDrawText(message, ,2,2,resX + 2,102,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2,"default-bold","center","center",true,true,false) 
        dxDrawText(message, 0,0,resX,100,tocolor(255,255,255,200),2,"default-bold","center","center",true,true,false) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawDisplay) 
  
function startDisplay(jTime) 
    theTimer = setTimer(function() -- Set the timer 
        -- Write what timer has to execute here, or to a named function 
        end 
        ,10000,1) 
end 
addEvent("hii",true) 
addEventHandler("hii", localPlayer, startDisplay) 
  
function mstoSec(ms) 
    local ms = ms/1000 
    if string.find(tostring(ms),"%.") then 
        local seconds = string.match(tostring(ms),"%d+") 
        return seconds 
    else 
        return ms 
    end 
end
