I knwo basically nothing about scripting.

However i would really like a little count downer thingy. IT would basically count down to an SL tiem and date thatwas specified. It would show on a prim or something similar ho many days hours and minutes were left.


Is this possible??

If it is is there soething like this already avaliable in world?

Yes, it is possible and not all that difficult to make. I don't recall seeing one for sale in world but I would be very suprised if there is not.

I found a free "Count down to St Patrick's Day" on xlstreet earlier this year....never did work very well though.

did you check the scripting library?
there are a lot of good free scripts in there, might be a count down one

Hi Eclectic, my husband Gonkerplumb Flanagan is going to send you this script. You have to enter the time and date in the script, and it will show as floating text above the prim it is in. It can go into any prim object you like, so long as the object is modifiable, or obviously made by you! It will also show a message of your choice.

I hope this is what you want.

I did the same.

Poor Eclectic - you will soon be drowning in counters.

Thank you both :)

Neither are exactly what I want but they will work until I can find one which will do what I want

I am wanting the couuntdown to show on a prim board.

I think i mayhave found soemthing that does it but it is counting down to Christmas so I will chat to the creator and see if they will make one for me to count down to my date
