Simple countdown timer

[SeeAirAhh Josephina]

I bet this is going to be something simple but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, thanks in advance for any help.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        count=0;
        llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
    }

    on_rez(integer num)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    
    timer()
    {
        llSetText("Countdown in: "+(string)(120-count)+"s\n \n \n ",<1,1,1>,1.0);
        count++;
        if (count>120)
//do something
}
}

count needs to be a  global integer variable

integer count;

Like this?  It's still giving me an error

integer count;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        count=0;
        llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
    }

    on_rez(integer num)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    
    timer()
    {
        llSetText("Countdown in: "+(string)(120-count)+"s\n \n \n ",<1,1,1>,1.0);
        count++;
        if (count>120)
//do something
}
}

That's the idea.  You haven't included code to fill in what happens when you 

//do something

so that's probably why you're getting an error after the if statement.  Aside from that, you need to provide code to stop thee time when it reaches 120 seconds and the let you restart the timer (preferably without needing the reset the entire script).

I think@Rolig Loon is correct and the lack of actual action is the issue.

Perhaps something like this?

integer giCount;
integer giStartCount = 120;

ResetTimer()
{
    giCount = giStartCount;
    llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        ResetTimer();
    }

    touch_start(integer piNum)
    {
        ResetTimer();
    }

    on_rez(integer num)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    
    timer()
    {
        llSetText("Countdown in: "+ (string)giCount + "s\n \n \n ", <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0);
        --giCount;
        if (giCount == 0)
        {
            //Do something
            llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
        }        
    }
}
