Time.sleep() for ui?

[Bjucha]

Hello everybody, trying to create a simple timer that counts down from 10 to 0.
Creating one in that executes in console is no problem when using time.sleep function and a simple while condition, but for the ui if using a time.sleepfunction everything freezes. Read someware that time.sleep does not work for the ui. Is that correct? And if so what should I use instead?

Hmm wrote it like this

import time, ui

timme = 30

def CountDown(sender):
	global timme
	
	if timme > 0:
		label1.text = str(timme)
		ui.delay(sender.CountDown, 1)
		timme = timme - 1
		label1.text = str(timme)

but now I get "Attribute error" ui.Button has no attribute 'CountDown' and it refering to the

ui.delay(sender.CountDown, 1)

line. Tried different combinations for the ui.delay but will always get this error. What am I missing?

In the line that is failing, sender is a ui.Button but you have defined CountDown as a standalone function, not as a method of ui.Button().

Try CountDown(sender) instead of sender.CountDown()

Also code format requires the three backticks are on a line by themselves with no other text before or after them on the same line.
