how to make a simple countdown timer[SOLVED]

Hi, how do I make a simple GUI countdown timer in minutes and seconds, that I can display and use to trigger events, such as when the timer reaches 10 secs, send an event to stop the timer for example.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
It's easy. It requires tho a custom action to display the minutes and seconds easily.

I have attached a package doing this. you define a time and a trigger and it will count down and stop at the trigger value.
bye,
Jean

I'm a bit of a newbee here. How do you change the location, size, color and style of the text here. I've tried everything and it's still just white at the top left of the screen.
Thanks

Hi,
this text is a Unity GUI text, and to change colors and everything, you'll need to either:
-- make a specific Unity
GUI skin
-- If on Unity 4, use
rich text formating
-- else, change the color using the action "setGuiColor" and or "SetGuiContentColor", depending on all you'll want to achieve.
Bye,
Jean
