script help please

[Slippery Jim]

Can someone help with a script please? I want to have a 2 digit segment display that does one thing only. That is to display the amount of time left for the ball saver feature. IE I want it to count down as soon as it starts (on my table it starts when the ball travels through the plunger lane gate) Mine is set for 25 seconds, but turns off when the ball drains, you still get the second chance but so you only get one ball saver per ball.
A few years back Popotte showed me it was possible, but that was on another forum which no longer exists and I have lost his messages.

Ideally Id like it to flash when down to ten seconds left, but I will be happy with just the countdown

It looks like you are the best person to answer this. I don't have a clue myself.

You have just to activate a 1000ms timer (BallSaverTimer) when the ball travels through the plunger lane gate and to display on your 2 digit display a variable named (for example) MyTimer initialized to 25.
Sub BallSaverTimer_Expired()
MyTimer = MyTimer -1
Display MyTimer on your segment
If MyTimer > 0 Then Exit Sub
MyTimer.Enabled = False
blank your display
End Sub

Sub Drain()
If MyTimer > 0 Then
MyTimer.Enabled = False
Blank your display
go to create a new ball
Exit Sub
End If

Don't forget to disable the timer if you tilt. And reset the display to blank.
