Command block setupundefined

Commands
Ok so set Set up the command blocks in your minecraft world like the picture shows Then add a 4 repeater clock (2 repeaters on each side) and set the tick delay to 3.
So in the left command block (attachted to the clock) put in 
/execute @e[type=Snowball] ~ ~ ~ summon PrimedTnt
and then in the command block attatched to the repeater put
/kill @e[type=Snowball] 
So what this does wherever there is a snowball it will blow up when the command block is activated that's why we want a slow clock.

     
      Or if you want to use an extra command block (so tough) You can have a normal clock the fastest one possible do
/testfor @e[type=Snowball] then after about 5 or 6 ticks however many repeaters you want to delay then do the  execute above. So let's say you use 5 repeaters on maximim delay. So that is 2.0 seconds. So after the snowball is alive for 2 seconds it will explode and then have a command block right next to it doing /kill @e[type=Arrow]

I have an idea of how to make every snowball explode on a timing! Here:
change the execute command to: /execute @e[type=Snowball, score_life_min=30] ~ ~ ~ summon PrimedTnt
and add a scoreboard like this: /scoreboard objectives add life stat.timeSinceLastDeath Ticks lived
The snowballs should explode after they have gone for 1 second if I estimated right.

I wish I could diamond or favorite comments, but I have another way (your way didn't work the command didn't the add scoreboard was find) but I did /testfor @e[type=snowball] comparator 5 tick delay and it turns out it works perfectly

I found the problem! Do these two commands;
/scoreboard objectives remove life
command two:
/scoreboard objectives add life stat.timeSinceDeath Ticks lived

Now it should work with 1.8 only. Make sure to use 1.8!

I didn't really understand scoreboards back then so I didn't know what you were saying, now I do but what I did actually was have a 2 tick repeater clock constantly doing /testfor @e[type=Snowball] ~ ~ ~ then I had comparator and then I had 6 repeaters then they all equaled to two seconds so it would explode after 2 seconds then more repeaters could increase the time
