Possible to display a serverside timer on client?

[[CLRP]extra]

Title says it all. Is it possible? if so, how?

[King Penisless]

If the client knows what time it started and the duration of the timer then its completely possible

Yea, client knows the duration since its in a table and I could make it know when it started.

Are you suggesting a timer on the client? That wouldn't work since the function server-side checks your inventory and if its found the item, it sets a timer.
The only way I could think of was just fetching the serverside timer if it exists.

Im trying to make the client display a timer set serverside that's only created if another serverside value is true.

Is it a timer or a countdown?
If it's a simple timer you just need to tell the client to start it from the server using the net Library, heres how it would work.

-- CLIENT
START_TIME = 0
TIMER = false
function StartTimer()
    START_TIME = CurTime()
    TIMER = true
end

hook.Add("Think", "LolImAHook", function ()
    if TIMER then
        print(CurTime() - START_TIME)
    end
end)

I don't think that would work in this case.
Heres some code to help.

--Client
CCraftButton.DoClick = function()
			net.Start("CheckCraftable")
	        net.WriteString(v.Class)
            net.WriteString(v.ENT_Model)
            net.WriteString(v.CraftXP)
            net.WriteString(v.C_level)
	    net.WriteString(v.CraftTimer)
	        net.SendToServer()
end

--Serverside

if timer.Exists("CraftingObjectItem:"..ply:UniqueID().." Class:"..Class.."") or ply.CraftingShit then return end
if ply:GetCExp() < level then return end

if ply:GetItem( Class ) then --If the player has the shit in his inventory, then do this
ply.CraftingShit = true
timer.Create("CraftingObjectItem:"..ply:UniqueID().." Class:"..Class.."",time,1,function()
--Code for my shit
end)

Ok what you need to display on the client is a countdown, All you need to send to the client is when the timer will run it's callback which is [B]CurTime() + time[/B]

net.Receive("ReceiveTimer", function()
    TIMER_END = net.ReadInt()
end)

hook.Add("Think", "LolImAHook", function ()
    if CurTime() <= TIMER_END then
        print(TIMER_END - CurTime())
    end
end)
