Hi!

How do I best display a countdown?

My trigger contains the following line of code sent to script:


Doafter(math.random (1500, 1600 / 10, "alias1")


So what I simply want is some sort of clock that shows the countdown in my main window.

Regards
Peter

No it doesn't, because that's not valid syntax. What does your trigger actually have?

Well, since it works just fine I count that as a valid syntax!

1. You're missing a ) somewhere
2. The function is DoAfter, not Doafter

What you pasted is invalid, which is why Fiendish is asking for a literal paste of what your trigger contains. A correct semblance of your paste would be:
DoAfter(math.random(1500, 1600) / 10, "alias1")


For utmost accuracy, you should export the trigger and paste it here. Nick linked to a forum post showing how to do that.
