The wait action just delays the FSM from going to the next block, it does not create or display a countdown timer.

A 'wait' action just waits.  It is a pause between FSMs.  if you want a timer, there are actions for timers on this site.  You'll need to create a timer, have it countdown using a variable, convert to string and display on screen (UI text.  You'll need to set up a canvas).  Several steps.  This is a common request and you can find it on this site. 

I did include a screenshot of the 'countdown timer' action and the convert actions.  The picture shows a countdown from '3'.  At '2' it exits so it can play a sound of a guy saying '2'.  (I actually have 3 of these in different states to have an announcer countdown).  You can use this as a template for a timer.

Action is included as well.
