Usage

Examples
I have a button in my world, that when pressed, uses ProtoFlux to grab T and add 900 to it, then sets that value as countdownTime. Thus I get a timer for 15 minutes.
For example, if T is 1200 and I wanted a 3-minute timer, I would need to set CountdownTime to, 1200 + (3 (min) * 60 (seconds)), 1380. and it would output a string of 3:00. Throw that in a Text Field of a Text Render and then you get a Visible Countdown.
