try this to get you started

For $a = 0 To 0 Step -1
        For $b = 59 To 0 Step -1
            For $c = 59 To 0 Step -1
                
                ToolTip($a & ":" & $b & ":" & $c, 0, 0)
                Sleep(1000)
            Next
        Next
    Next

$woof = TimerInit()
While 1
    ToolTip(StringTrimRight(Round(TimerDiff($woof)), 3))
    Sleep(750)
WEnd

this'll count up... you could probably modify it to make it seem like it's counting down

Edit: This'll count up, and it'll seperate the values into hour:minutes:seconds

$Timer = TimerInit()
While 1
    $Time = StringTrimRight(Round(TimerDiff($Timer)), 3)
    ToolTip(Floor($Time / 3600) & ":" & Floor($Time / 60) - (Floor($Time / 3600) * 60) & ":" & ($Time - (Floor($Time / 60) * 60)))
    Sleep(1)
WEnd

if you change this line: $Time = StringTrimRight(Round(TimerDiff($Timer)), 3)

to something like this: $Time = 3600 - StringTrimRight(Round(TimerDiff($Timer)), 3)

that makes it count down (from an hour at 3600 seconds)

nitekrams way works well, but the sleep doesn't sleep for exactly 1 second, and it still takes some time for the rest of the script to execute, so after a while there'll be a noticeable gap if you checked that countdown with a real counter, or something, not saying it's bad...
