Try using Timeout instead of countdown.

If you have a not present trigger, and set all three timeout values (min,mid,max) to the same value, the trigger will always wait for that number of seconds after the units aren't in it to go off ;)

I have a better way.

Make a script called "timer.sqs"

counter = 5
#loop
counter = counter - 1
~1
?counter <= 0 : loop

In that trigger in the condition forld put counter == 5 (when counter = 5)

I am using 5 as an example time limit for 5 seconds, adjust your time limit.
