Weakaura help (countdown timer on trigger)

[Deleted]

Im looking for a weakaura that counts down to a mortar on mythic bh ...

I can make one myself but I cant figure out how to count down from 8 after a trigger triggers.

I expect its a display thing (some sort of lua custom thing might be involved...)

any ideas on how to get this sorted?

at first I tried a custom lua with sleep(1); but wow doesnt allow this;

I got:

local i = 8;
C_Timer.NewTicker(1, function()
i = i - 1;
print(i)
end, 8);


now but it doesnt allow the i variable.. this makes me a saaad panda

C_Timer.After(1, function() print('1') end)
C_Timer.After(2, function() print('2') end)
C_Timer.After(3, function() print('3') end)
C_Timer.After(4, function() print('4') end)
C_Timer.After(5, function() print('5') end)
C_Timer.After(6, function() print('6') end)
C_Timer.After(7, function() print('7') end)
C_Timer.After(8, function() print('8') end)

C_Timer.After(6, function() print('6') end)
C_Timer.After(7, function() print('7') end)
C_Timer.After(8, function() print('8') end)

thanks for the help, I ended up going with gettime(); (thanks to aggixx on #ravenholdt for the solution)
