how to make a countdown timer

what events/actions would i have to do for a still layout with nothing moving to go to the next after 5 seconds? i tried

at start of layout, subtract from private variable of titled background "countdown" 100 * TimeDelta, but that didnt seem to work. i didnt expect it to, as i dont even know really how to use timedelta.

If you just want to go to another layout after a fixed time elapsed there are easier ways. One is the System expression Compare time. Set it to compare "equal to" and 5000 milliseconds (=5 sec) and all is fine

wow, i missed that >_> thanks!
