hud_timer example. TimerText: "LEVEL CHANGE"

hud_timer is a point available in Synergy. It displays a countdown timer on every player's HUD and fires an output once reaching zero.

Tip:This is the same HUD element used during the "Waiting for Players" event before level transitions.

TimerText ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>: Text to display when this timer is visible.

Tip:Try to keep the text under ~25 characters, otherwise it may protrude out of the HUD's frame. (ends will not be visible)

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Start <integerRedirectInput/integer>: Start the timer with a specified duration of seconds.

Change <integerRedirectInput/integer>: Update the timer time - value is added to current timer time; allows positive and negative values.
