How to make a timer label?

[FlyingSpoon]

Is there a way I can make a 2 minute timer, and display the countdown on a GUI Label or DxText?

2 minute timer? This:

setTimer(yourFunction, 120000, 1) 

And we can't make script for you, do it by yourself and we can fix errors.

*cough* *cough*

I never told you to make any script for me, I asked you is there a way, and if yes, what are the functions?

If you dont want to help, dont help. I never asked you in the first place

Enjoy your day.

Thanks for the function, which I already knew.

@Raysmta, he may have misunderstood your question at first place. You should at least give him some respect for trying to help you.

And about your question, you may use:

  
setTimer 
getTimerDetails 
guiCreateLabel 

Set a timer using setTimer then get remaining time using getTimerDetails and then put that remaining time inside the guiCreateLabel function. Read about those function in the wiki and you will be done.

Hint:

  
timeRemaining, executesRemaining, totalExecutes = getTimerDetails(theTimer) -- Get the timers details

the lazy way would probably be something like. there's probably a better way though. just trying to help you from top of my head

  
local countdown = 120 
local label = guiCreateLabel(pos, tostring(countdown), parent of) 
  
  
setTimer(function () 
    countdown = countdown - 1 
    if countdown >= 0 then 
        guiSetText(label, tostring(countdown)) 
    else 
        --you've reached 0! 
    end 
end, 120000, 1000) 
  
  

but you could work around

getTimerDetails 

to get the timeRemaining (in ms) - 1000 to get into seconds
