I'm a veteran with scratch and i can use easily all its tools except one, the timer.
It starts when i don't want, it doesn't stop, just reset...
Please somebody help me with timer? Is there any tutorial or topic talking about it?
Can I put a countdown timer?

The best you can do (until they add a pause timer function who knows maybe in 1.5) is to run a variable to track pased time.

MyFakeTimer = timer - paused time
Then set pause time - when it's paused and look at the timer to figure out how long it's been paused.

I am having a hard time explaining it as I best could - I might put up a small project.

Or just do what I do... A entirely new timer.

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<set{ time }to( 0
<forever>
<wait( 1 )secs>
<change{ time }by( 1
<end>[/blocks]

Although, that might cause a lil' bit of lag on huge projects. So Mike's way is better.
