Hi there people, I am creating a story and I wanted to script a countdown in it, for example if the player clicks a link, a timer appears and they have to chose the correct answer before it runs out or they get transported to the end game page. I would appreciate if someone could help me with it :)

Sounds like something you'd need to use javascript for. Probably the way would be to use something like setTimeout() to call a function that'll redirect the reader to another page.

Yes, there's no way to do that with internal CYS tools.

However, please consider why you would want to do this. If you just are making a quiz with timers, that seems reasonable. But if you have a bunch of text that people read, different people read at different speeds. If you're doing it to attempt to create pressure in a reading instance, it might not work as well as you think.
