How to make Timer System in UDMF Format?

[Karnasis]

I am making an Gauntlet style map, where the main focus is surviving waves of demons until a timer reaches 00:00, which proceeds to open a door to the exit.

Can I do this using scripts in Ultimate Doom Builder, or do I need to mod the files using SLADE?

 

If it is possible either way, how?

Pretty easy with a script.

Use a While loop and a decreasing int, something like this:

 

int timer = 60;

While (timer > 0) {
        timer—;

        Delay(35);

}
Door_Open(x);

Is there a way to make the timer appear on the screen as a HUD message? Or atleast a message appear that tells the player the door is open?

Take a look here: https://zdoom.org/wiki/HudMessage#Example_scripts

 

Print/HudMessage can print integers you've declared in your script, so this shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish building from what Kan3 shared.
