Counter:add timer

Counter:add timer is an Effect which is accessed from the Triggers menu. You can learn more about the Triggers window here. You can learn more about using effects here.

Effect Description:

Displays a clock, a message and a countdown at the top of the screen and fires a trigger when the time is over. Then it disappears.

Effect Parameters:

Name: The name the trigger interface uses. For example, you can stop the countdown with Counter Stop and use this name to tell Counter Stop which counter to stop. The player does not see this name.
Start: The time that the countdown counts down.
Stop: The time at which the countdown stops. Default (and logical) is 0, but you can also make it stop at, for example, 10 seconds.
Message: The text that you see in front of the time. Example: "Rescue the king until the enemy's army is here" (Without the quotes, of course.)
Trigger: The trigger that is fired when the countdown ends. Basically a Fire Event.
