Best way to add a countdown in the middle of the screen?

Development Programming & Scripting

I’m trying to find out what the best way of adding a countdown timer would be. The timer would count from 5 to “GO” similarly to racing games and on go the player would be able to play the game.

My initial ideas were to perhaps delay the player spawning and then draw the numbers during the delay but I don’t quite know how I could do that and I can’t find much help online.

P.S. Its my first time using the answer hub so please bare with me if I make any errors.

Maybe a timeline with an execution output?

Add 7 points to the timeline and then a sequence node. Connect each one to something that displays the number 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go, and then something that spawns the blueprint that isthe character.
