I wanted to program a timer for the Mygeeto map for the MovieMod. So I've copied over the one that was used on the Hoth campaign map too my map. The timer is on my screen, but the value is set to 21:00 and doesn't decrease :S This is my lua:

You forgot to start the timer. It doesn't start automatically.

StartTimer(timeoutTimer)

timers can also start by other events.

I hope you don't mind that i made the LUA part small in text? It's gettign frustrated if you have to scroll down so much, and you know how lazy we are, so the smaller text is also more userfriendly to read

Here is a sample of a working timer:
