I created a Label and I want to set the text to be a count down time from 20 to 0.
The only think I don't know how to do is to make it work on every frame because vgui shows only once.
[lua]
WaitTime = 3
remaining = WaitTime-(CurTime()-WaitTime)
remain = vgui.Create("DLabel",bottom)
remain:SetPos(15,15)
remain:SetFont("General")
remain:SetTextColor(color_white)
remain:SetText("Remaining: "..remaining)
remain:SizeToContents()
[/lua]

Create the vgui outside of a hook, and make make the remaining variable update in a hook.
The vgui shouldnt be closing, afaik.
Just update the text in the DLabel's Think hook.
[lua]
WaitTime = 3
remaining = WaitTime-(CurTime()-WaitTime)
remain = vgui.Create("DLabel",bottom)
remain:SetPos(15,15)
remain:SetFont("General")
remain:SetTextColor(color_white)
remain:SetText("Remaining: "..remaining)
remain:SizeToContents()
remain.Think = function()
remain:SetText("Remaining: "..remaining)
remain:SizeToContents()
end
[/lua]
That worked but I had to add
"remaining = WaitTime-(CurTime()-WaitTime)" in the Think hook.
The problem is that the time is not like 20,19,18,17 because right now it looks like this
