This is really stupid.

I have made a countdown timer, but I cannot get it to pause.

Does anyone know of any basic countdown timer scripts or tutorials that feature the pause button? I have found many regular timers that count up from zero, but I need them to count down. The one I made is fine (although the code is sloppy), but I cannot figure out how to pause it.

Thanks
