Countdown Timer display

SanoRock

I was wondering is there a way to change the timer display to look different. I want to do a timer for 3 minutes. Right now I can only get it to display if I put it in as 180 seconds. So it counts down from 180 seconds. I would like it to looke like this 3:00 and start to count down.

Wrap it in a rule. Rules control when code starts to execute.

Hi @SanOrck here's an amended file from another member giving you the principle for making minutes and seconds as countdown. Hope it helps.
