Timer countdown

[limboo]

can someone help me with this script? i want it to count down but not rely on systemtime

ON PRELOAD

bRunning = true;
nTimerResolution = 60; -- In miliseconds
nMillisecs = 0;
nSeconds = 0;
nMinutes = 5;
nHours =0;


Page.StartTimer(60)		


function UpdateTimerTime()

	if(nMillisecs >= 1000) then
		nSeconds = nSeconds + 1;
		nMillisecs = 0;
	end

	local nTenths = Math.Round(nMillisecs / 100, 1) * 10;

	if(nSeconds > 59) then
		nMinutes = nMinutes + 1;
		nSeconds = 0;
	
end
	if(nMinutes > 59) then
		nHours = nHours + 1;
		nMinutes = 0;
	end
_at_comp = nHours*3600+nMinutes*60+nSeconds+nMillisecs*1000;
	
	local strElapsed = string.format( "%.2d:%.2d"
	                                , nMinutes
	                                , nSeconds );
end
	
	Input.SetText("Time", strElapsed)

ON TIMER

nMillisecs = nMillisecs + nTimerResolution;
UpdateTimerTime();

and i've tried the search function but i can't find an instant countdown timer

Here's a very simple countdown ap that may give you some ideas for your project.
