Ok, I'm confused on how to set a CTDOWN timer in VDS 6 since it requires the binary time instead of the older datetime format style. My problem is that my crusty old brain isn't clicking on how to use @datetime() in conjunction in setting the timer.

Hi Garret,

Maybe what you need is this:

VDS 6:

Code:

timer start,1,Ctdown,@fadd(A,@datetime(,B:CC:DD))

so

timer start,1,Ctdown,@fadd(0,@datetime(,0:05:00))

A = Days
B = Hours
CC = Minutes
DD = Seconds

Will be a :Timer1CTDown in 5 minutes

regards

Nathan

Cabaptista, thanks, but I did note VDS 6 which uses a different method than VDS 5. Rubes got it.. Thanks to both of you Smile
