How do you make a countdown timer in scratch basically let’s say I’m in France and it is 10 pm in my time is 9 pm how do I make a countdown timer so that means it all goes live at the minute basically I’m looking for a time zone converter so that means I can have a countdown for the launch of my game and then I’ll make a live event please. Thank you!

Let me try to understand this better…

You want a live countdown equal to all time zones?

The days since 2000 block is always in UTC, meaning you can detect the time zone.

Yes.

Do you mean a user in the US (say) sees the same countdown values as a user in Paris as opposed to being 5 hours or so behind?

If so the days since 2000 block is the one you want since it is based on a single time reference (UTC) for all users. Trying to do anything with local time is much harder since as well as timezones you have varying application of daylight savings time.
