Questions? I'll answer them.
Hi, this is Trekkie2000. I was originally going to make this post for Remington04, because he asked me a scripting question, but I think a lot of new scratcher's might benifit from this. Just send me a question, and I'll do my best to answer it. Im not an EXPERT on programming, but I do know a bit about stuff like making guns, using Mesh, and stuff. So just send in your questions!

Hey I was wondering if you knew how to make a countdown timer from 99999 to 00000?
Help would be much appreciated!
This should help: 
The variable 'counter' will count down from 9999 to 0.
If you want the counter to start from something different like 6789 you can just change the [set (counter) to (9999)] to [set (counter) to (6789)] 
Hope it helps!

but wouldn't that only work if all of the costumes were for 1 sprite? there are 5 sprites, one for each digit's place
I can't help you on that one. 
? I've been trying to figure that one out for a while. Also, you realize it was bbbeb who helped u out before, not me.

Re: Questions? I'll answer them.
Do you know how to make an NPC?
E.G an enemy tank??

Re: Questions? I'll answer them.
One way do do an Npc is the easy way, which is just random movements. A "Smart" way to do it is to program it so that the tank moves based on your movemnts (VERY HARD but possible) However many know more about AI then myself.
