Ive read several places that suggest how to do it, but right clicking doesnt seem to give me the menus

I have a start screen for the beginning of the stream and I just want to add a simple 5 minute countdown timer on the screen that I can activate
and at the same time play a simple music interlude in the back ground.

Not sure how to do it, nothing Ive read seems to have the options.

Not good a scripting yet.


thanks

@ w7psk

Add a "Trigger" to your Countdown Timer Input:
===> OnOverlayIn ===> Play ===> Input Y (where Y is your musical interlude Input, Audio must be ON)

Well, I have gotten a timer to put on screen, but you have to create an input each time. Im dealing with very basic operators, so I need something like my Credits where they just click on the 1 to get over the start screen and then maybe at most a key press to get it going.

Anyone have one that they are using already ... maybe something in GT they did ?? I can add the audio later, that works ok.


Thanks
