Countdown Timer Animation

Hi, so I am working on 2 player platformer race-ish game and want to have a sort of countdown timer before the players can move. I made a coroutine which stops the player from moving for 5 secs while the animation is playing.

Code (CSharp):

1.  IEnumerator startMovementIE()
2.     {
3.         //play countdown animation
4.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
5.         startMovement = true;
6.     }
7.  

However, I'm not sure where to start on the countdown animation, for example how to swap sprites and that stuff, or if I should look at it in a different approach. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hello, I worked this out by making a simple script as shown for a timer if anyone has a similar problem.

Code (CSharp):

1. public float currentTime = 0f;
2.     public float startingTime = 10f;
3.  
4.     [SerializeField]Text countdownText;
5.  
6.     private void Start()
7.     {
8.         currentTime = startingTime;
9.     }
10.  
11.     private void Update()
12.     {
13.         currentTime -= 1 * Time.deltaTime;
14.         countdownText.text = currentTime.ToString("0");
15.     }
