  • /countdown to trigger countdown

  • Display in the server log when it is loaded

  • Configurable countdown length

Thanks for your contribution (:

I would like to point out two things.

  1. This function doesnt exists https://github.com/BTSmoke/BeamMP/blob/main/BTNCountdown.lua#L19 therefore yielding a lua error if a player sends the /coords command

  2. startCountdown() is blocking the state for the duration of the countdown. If a player sends /countdown this state will block the onChatMessage event for the whole time the countdown is running. If multiple scripts listen to that event and one is blocking it then no other can execute it until its unblocked. This possibly also means that a player could spam the /countdown command and this way trigger the countdown over and over again even far after they have left the server already.

Heres a different approach https://github.com/OfficialLambdax/BeamMP-ServerScripts/blob/main/SimpleCountdown/Server/SimpleCountdown/main.lua
It returns with every left time call, so that neither this or any by it registered events is blocked for the duration of the countdown.
