Valid values

  • A number of seconds of game time. Each second is 15 [frames](/glossary/#frame).
Caveats
  • The countdown runs afterwards whatever state it was in, so no Timer Start action is needed.
  • EVA announces the countdown on every firing, including one that resets a countdown already running, unless that announcement is already speaking or waiting.
  • A count of 0 expires the countdown at once, as if it had run out. [Mission Timer Expired](/mapping/events/tevent-mission-timer-expired/) says when that event can be caught.
