Simple countdown timer

Hi,
Sorry, i have no clue how to do this.

I need a simple countdown timer , We have gladiator games, and we need a timer to count off the seconds till the Kill command. I use an alias in zmud ..countdown 30

in Zmud it looks like this:

alias: countdown *
Value:

#IF (%1) {count = %1} {count = 10}
#WHILE (@count > 0) {
chant @count
#WAIT 1000
#ADD count -1
}

I've tried , but don't know enough about mush to do this.
Any help for this please?
Thank you,
K.

Something like this will do it:

wow..amazing ! thank you SO much!
i changed it just a bit,(counter=%1) and was trying to modify it for the end message, but couldn't figure out how to do that. I'd like to have a send command happen at the end of the countdown...Send("say Begin Fighting!"), but couldn't figure out how to put it in there...

Thank you very much for any help :)
