[Pawn] Nice and easy way to script a countdown?

[Pinch]

I've been doing it like this:

Code:

timer Countdown[1000](playerid, seconds)
{
    if (seconds) {
        defer Countdown(playerid, --seconds);
        // Update GameText, be aware that seconds is already subtracted by 1
    }
    else {
        // Timer finished, code;
    }
}

Dunno if it's the best way but I hope that I gave you a good idea how :3
