In with direction should the timer go?
Countdown or countup?

countup: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15545&page=1&pp=15&highlight=timer+multi

countdown:
Create a timer variable (<YourTimer>) and start it.

event - Every secund
condition - none
Actions-
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to (String((Remaining time for <YourTimer>)))

I think there is a multiboard tutorial somewher. I dont know if it have timers in it but go and see.

Here it is:

This is the full explanation of what I'm trying to say here:

When a special unit in my game called "the medic" dies, I want a timer that counts down from about 15 minutes (I might change the minutes though). Is this possible? Like:

Trigger 1)

Event: A unit dies

Condtions: Triggering unit equal to The Medic

Actions: (this is where i want a timer to countdown from 15)

Trigger 2)

Events: Timer1 reaches 0.

Actions: Something like revive the medic at a certain region.

Thanks again!

Sry to double post agiain, but I would like to say something.

When you say this:

Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to (String((Remaining time for <YourTimer>)))

I can understand that, but how do i set the vairable timer up?

Use the action he posted above under "Countdown" when the unit dies.

Uh..

Ok, this is want I'm trying to get.

Team 1 Medic Dies
Event: A unit dies
Condition: Unit equal to The Medic
If any conditions are true, do action else do then:
Owner of triggering unit equal to player of team1,
Then: Multiboard change text of coloum 1 row 1 to 15:00.
Turn on Trigger Timer.
Else: Do nothing.

Timer:
Event: Every 1:00 Of the game.
Conditions: None
Actions: Multiboard - Change text of coloum one row one to (this is where i have a problem, i cannot figure out how to do -1:00 second.)

This might not work but i gave it a shot.

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to ((String(Mintues)) + (: + ((String(TenSeconds)) + (String(OneSeconds)))))
        Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set OneSeconds = (OneSeconds - 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                OneSeconds Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Set OneSeconds = 9
                Set TenSeconds = (TenSeconds - 1)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                TenSeconds Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Set TenSeconds = 5
                Set Mintues = (Mintues - 1)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to ((String(Mintues)) + (: + ((String(TenSeconds)) + (String(OneSeconds)))))

I mighta messed up on the order and stuff.

Nope

It DID Not Work. In the multiboard I got this: -1:5- and it didnt change when a unit died.
