I need help with my script

[sandin]

This is my script so far...

It can disconnect or shutdown computer with the time inputed.

But I can't figure how to make time count down. and how to pause it with stop button, and continue with start.

The following is just an idea that I use.

Create a GUI that has a progress bar and the buttons you want (pause, cancel, etc. - I made the pause btn switch to read resume when clicked). Have this placed before your current script. If you need a few more nudges let me know, but the documentation in the manual should be all you need.

For a countdown you could use a For loop:

For $i = 99999 To 0 Step -1
    Sleep(1000)
Next

This means it would countdown from 99999 seconds to 0.

Try this example

much need props to someone who originally helped me figure this out. Alas, I didn't document who helped.

$i = 0
    $state = "Resumed"
    While $i < 100
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        If $msg = $stop OR $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
        
        
        If $state = "Resumed" Then
            If $msg = $pause Then 
                GUICtrlSetData($pause,"Resume")
                $state = "Paused"
            EndIf
            $i = $i + 1
            GUICtrlSetData ($progressbar,$i)
            GUICtrlSetData ($procent,$i & ' %')
        ElseIf $state = "Paused" Then
            If $msg = $pause Then
                GUICtrlSetData($pause,"Pause")
                $state = "Resumed"
            EndIf
        EndIf
        
        If $i > 100 Then 
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
        Sleep(50)
    Wend
