timeInSeconds - Can be:
Number:

  • -1 to set the countdown to nil
  • 0 to return the left-over time
Boolean:
  • true to find out if countdown is active and if there is left-over time
global - Boolean: True to set it globally (Optional) Default: true
Return Value:
Number:
  • If set locally: time + timeInSeconds (Example 1)
  • If set globally serverTime + timeInSeconds (Example 2)
  • Returns -1 if countdown is set to nil (Example 3)
  • Return left-over time (Example 4)
Boolean:
Returns true when countdown is > 0 else false (Example 5)

Examples

_initialCountDown = [50] call BIS_fnc_countDown;// Sets countdown to 50 seconds globally
Example 3:
