SimpleCountDown
Version 1.3
(Thanks to N07070 for the logo)
SimpleCountDown is a plugin which allows server admins to create a countdown timer. This countdown timer can perform commands aswell at the end.
(Follow me on twitter for updates!)
Do you want to make a simple countdown timer for a certain event? Well this plugin will allow you to, and will have a lot of simple commands which make life as a server admin very pleasurable.
How does it work?
When you want to create a event where you need a countdown timer, you use the /countdown start <time> [commands] command. The time can be specified in seconds, minutes or hours. For example: 10s or 14m or 2h. When you want to pause the timer, because there is something wrong with a event, you use /countdown pause. When you think it's ok to resume, use /countdown resume. If you want to completely stop the countdown timer, just type /countdown stop. Maybe some players want to get information about the time. That's rather easy. They just type /countdown status. This will show them if there is a countdown timer running or if it's paused/stopped. It will also show the time left if the timer is running.
Features

- /countdown pause|resume Pauses or resumes the countdown timer.

I'm a poor student and I'm developing this plugin in my free-time, if you like my plugin and want to help me, please donate. Donating is the best way to help me out, it goes towards more bug-fixing. Thanks! Donate is in the top right corner. ;)
@Nightsaver341
I've uploaded a new version with your suggestion. It has to be approved by BukkitDev and then you can download it! Have fun!
@Nightsaver341
I will add that, thanks for the suggestion!
Will you add a way to make it say text beside Seconds left! It would help me a lot because I want to start an event and have the announcement say 30 seconds remaining for build contest.
@Timtower
I hope it helps him! Thanks!

As I see from the info:
There is an config file, there can you put your commands ( so also the arena commands ). Then you just type : /countdown start <Time> <Name of the command defined in the config>
@soysuva
Could you explain this a little better?
Can you make a command that makes the countdown time a game arena, minigame, and another world that has a game in it?
@Rmarmorstein
I've changed the 'simplecountdown' part to 'scd'. Thanks for the suggestion!
may want to shorten the permission nodes a bit. They are looking pretty long.
Maybe the first part can be scd < for simplecountdown
Second parts be .cd and .admin
and the rest be what they are?
Just a suggestion!
@owengraven
You want to configure when gets announced how much time is left? If that's the case, I think that could be implemented.
@Staartvin
Here comes my review:
Well written, it does no errors and i tested on 3 serv with different configs. Its a breeze to use the commands are easy to remeber and it does what it needs. Config file is easy to read/edit.
My only downpoint is there is no option to make it say each hour/minute/second how many time is left, it would be a nicer step for me than the last 5 h/m/s
Thx for this plugin, it has become my pvp countdown/festival/party countdown :)
@owengraven
Np. Thanks for using! If you gave some feedback, that would be great!
@Staartvin
Thx, i've installed it runs like it should.
