Help with Timers for Date Countdown

[MrBryza]

Hi Can anyone help with creating a countdown timer.
I would like it to give me the days and time left for special accasians like my Birthday or Christmas day.
I have found a 5 minute timer example but don’t help me.
How can this be done?

Hi you can try these - have included the free plugins in zip file.Copy Date folder to your Actions Plugin folder and the Date-Picker folder to your Objects Plugin folder.
These examples are not in English - I only did a slight mod to them You can check code and have a GO

Date.apz
Date_Time_Picker_Example.apz

There's also this one which uses sside's DateTime DLL (dll in .apz Docs folder):

Plus a simple countdown-timer to help with the first part of your question:

Hello my friends, I am looking for a way to create a timer that counts the continuous days incrementing once every 24 hours according to the computer data with the possibility of resetting the account whenever you want. This is to be able to keep track of the days without occupational accidents at work. the days are assumed without accidents and they increase one by one every 24 hours until an accident occurs, at this moment the progressive count returns to zero and starts again... what do you think? can this be done in autoplay media studio?

Welcome to the forum LUSAND ,
Yes

Awesome, thanks but now I have another problem: I am not a programmer, I am just an autoplay media studio enthusiast and I would like to know if some body can help me with this??.. I can offer some payment if the forum allows it.

I attached a suggestion, which can be enhanced as needed. The basic functionality is there, and should work as expected.
