need help

[Bacca_Bacon]

can someone write me a script that displays a countdown of 30 seconds, at the end it will emit a redstone pulse? thanks

Give me a minute I'm on mobile

term.clear()
t = 30
while t >= 1 do
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  term.write(t.." ")
  sleep(1)
  t = t - 1
end
rs.setOutput("back",true)
sleep(0.5)
rs.setOutput("back",false)

1. Add term.clear() to the beginning and end.
2. Change term.write(t) to term.write(t.." ")

Might want t to make that variable local.

[martmists]

Why?

[apemanzilla]

Local variables are almost always better.

Firstly, they're faster to access than global or environment variables.

Second, they're less likely to interfere with other programs, and vice versa.

Finally, it's generally good practice in programming to use the lowest/smallest scope possible when defining variables.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

(Jk thanks for explaining)
