1) No.2) Yes.
Have a nice day. J/k :)
create a script, say, timer.c. Ever this in:
void main(void)
{
int <ext = 0;
int &left = 60;
int &crap = 0;
loop:
wait(1000);
&left -= 1;
if (<ext != 0)
sp_active(<ext,0);
&crap = get_sprite_with_this_brain(9,1);
if (&crap == 0)
kill_this_task();
say_xy("You have &left seconds left!",0,370);
if (&left > 0)
goto loop;
//create huge explosions..
}
Then when you want the timer to start, enter spawn("timer");. Don't use external, as that will run the script on the same thread, and pause the current script.
