Countdowns for a routine

[Omer1]

Hi, I want to use a countdown in a routine for certain times. For example, I have a routine that lasts 100 seconds. I want to use two or more countdowns at different times. The first is from 20-30 seconds of the routine. I want to use a 10-second countdown for this period. And I will do the same for different periods in a routine. How can I do that? Can someone help me, please?

I have code for this in my code snippets document.

I use: newTime = (exptTime - timeStart.getTime()); if ((newTime < 0)) { newTime = 0; } mins = Math.floor((newTime / 60)); secs = (newTime % 60); if ((newTime !== oldTime)) { clock_time.text = ((Number.parseInt(mins).toString().padStart(2,"0") + ":") + Number.parseInt(secs).toString().padStart(2,"0")); oldTime = newTime; } The first block is auto translated from Python but the second needs a Both component. The Python version is: if newTime != oldTime: clock_time.text=str(int(mi…

Thanks for your reply. I have tried it. It begins with the routine and ends with the routine. For example, it starts 00:00 and ends 01:00. How can I turn this into a 30sec countdown? Also, I am wondering how I can start this countdown in the middle of the routine( e.g. 20 sec later). Can you help me with this?

newTime = (exptTime - timeStart.getTime())

It shouldn’t count up if you have something like this.

Set exptTime=50 in Begin Routine

Add

if secs <= 30:
     clock_time.text = str(...

You can also remove references to minutes if your countdown is from 30 to 0.
