This example displays an onscreen timer that leads to an explosion.

You will have to make a ureg object in the console text that displays a value for the ureg you choose to trigger your explosion, what you would have to do is make an animation where it sits in a loop and is triggered by an event that starts the timer and each subsequent frame of the animation will set the ureg to a value, start at the highest value of your timer then make each frame reduce the uvalue by one until you get to one , it's up to you what delay value you want to use. The animation would look something like this ( I used ureg 10 for this example )


frame 0 jump if close/see player 100
frame 1 goto frame 0
frame 2 set univ reg 10 uvalue 100 dly 2
frame 3 set univ reg 10 uvalue 99 dly 2
frame 4 set univ reg 10 uvalue 98 dly 2

etc. down to univ reg 10 uvalue 1 dly 2

( don't use value zero because the default ureg value is zero and the explosion will be triggered when the level loads )

you would also have the explosion animation set to be triggered when Ureg 10 = uvalue 1

The console text entry would look like this
