Timer/Countdown

[riceking 0]

I have a script that runs once per hour. Its similar to:

While 1

Sleep(360000)
WinActivate("NotePad")
Send("Loged 1 hour")
Send("{TAB}")

WEnd

I'm going to make a GUI soon and on that GUI I want it to display how much time left until the script resumes again, so basically a countdown on Sleep(360000), what would I use to display the time left as well. Thanks~

Maybe something like this? This is a stripped down copy of a project I got going..
