you probably can't use the timer itself, but you could create a variable to do that.
[blocks]
<set{ time }to( 90)
<repeat until><( <{ time }> <=> 0 )>
<wait( 1 )secsc>
<change{time }by( -1)
[/blocks]
something like that

Re: Timer
^^ Harakou speaks the truth.
In a way, the timer is quite pointless. It is easily recreated as a variable and that would add more possibilities.
