Can’t trickshot me!
timer() {
self endon("disconnect");
limit = 300;
while(limit > 0)
{
limit --;
wait 1;
if (limit<300) {
min=4;
sec=limit-240;
}
else if (limit<240) {
min=3;
sec=limit-180;
}
else if (limit<180) {
min=2;
sec=limit-120;
}
else if (limit<120) {
min=1;
sec=limit-60;
}
else if (limit<60) {
min=0;
sec=limit;
}
else {
min=0;
sec=0;
} Anto = self createFontString("default", 1.5);
Anto setPoint("TOPRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", -5, 0);
Anto setText( "^1Match Ends in: "+min+" : "+sec );
}

So here is a very simple code I made for my patch. All I want is to set this 5 minute timer in a gamemode I made to prevent a crash issue... The problem is that every second the new font string is placed over the previews one and covers it and after a while the game freezes... Any ideas how to make a normal timer?
timer() {
self endon("disconnect");
limit = 300;
while(limit > 0)
{
limit --;
wait 1;
if (limit<300) {
min=4;
sec=limit-240;
}
else if (limit<240) {
min=3;
sec=limit-180;
}
else if (limit<180) {
min=2;
sec=limit-120;
}
else if (limit<120) {
min=1;
sec=limit-60;
}
else if (limit<60) {
min=0;
sec=limit;
}
else {
min=0;
sec=0;
} Anto = self createFontString("default", 1.5);
Anto setPoint("TOPRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", -5, 0);
Anto setText( "^1Match Ends in: "+min+" : "+sec );
}
level thread maps\mp\gametypes\_gamelogic::forceEnd();
}
just use this
dotimer()
{
F = createServerFontString( "default", 1.5 );
F setPoint( "TOPRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", -5, 0 );
F.sort = 1001;
F setTimer(300);
Self thread doFroot(F);
}
doFroot(Loopz)
{
wait 300;
Loopz destroy();
}

Thank you. I didn't know that there is a ready to use setTimer function! Anyway this is my fixed code 
I replaced the fontstring with iprintln to prevent the overflows...
