Self-Destruct is the movie moment made real on your screen: a giant red MM:SS timer counting down to detonation, flashing “sequence initiated” warnings, scrolling hazard stripes, a row of critical status read-outs and a big ABORT button. Hit ABORT to stand down, RESET to run it again — and rest assured nothing anywhere actually detonates.
What you can do with it
- A tense “we have to get out” countdown for videos, films and sketches
- A dramatic stage or event timer with maximum jeopardy
- A prank countdown on a spare screen — with an obvious ABORT to break the tension
How to use Self-Destruct
Open Customize to set the colours, title and behaviour, then press Fullscreen (or add ?present=1 to the URL) for a clean, controls-free screen. To run it unattended on a stream, copy the OBS browser-source URL; to drop it into a web page, use the <iframe> embed. Everything is a visual prop — no real hacking, network or data.
Does anything actually happen at zero?
No. At zero the screen just flashes and resets — there is no explosion, no damage and nothing real behind it. It is a scripted animation.
Can I set the countdown length?
Yes. Customize lets you set the start time (up to an hour), the facility label and whether the status panel shows, and you can ABORT, RESET or add time at any point.
