Value is not counting down despite no errors in output. How do I fix this?
CODE:
01 | local AI = script.Parent.Parent.Timer.PositionNumber |
02 |
03 | local Lighting = game.ServerStorage.Freddy |
04 |
05 | local World = game.Workspace.Animatronics.Freddy |
06 |
07 | local Footstep = script.Parent.Parent.Timer.RemoteFunction.Footstep.Sound |
08 |
09 |
10 | repeat game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Wait() until AI.Value == 5 |
11 |
12 |
13 | script.Parent.DoorTimer.Value = (math.random(10,15)) |
14 |
15 |
16 |
17 | while game.Workspace.DoorL.Closed.Value == true do |
18 | wait(1) |
19 | script.Parent.DoorTimer.Value = script.Parent.DoorTimer.Value -1 |
20 | end |
So basically when I press a button on a model the boolean value turns true, and pressing it again makes it false. And this script makes it so when something certain happens a counter is randomly set, and having the mentioned BooleanValue set to true should subtract it every second its true. All the setups dont have problems, the BooleanValue changed, the DoorCounter gets randomly set,
But the main problem is getting the counter to go down when the BooleanValue is True

Apparently, the while loops only get(s) called essentially, so you should put the while loop like this. I think the issue was because of the loop, if the while loop gets called even once then it will break the script, and you need to check whether it's not true.
1 | while workspace.DoorL.Closed.Value == true do |
2 | if not workspace.DoorL.Closed.Value then |
3 | wait(1) |
4 | script.Parent.DoorTimer.Value = script.Parent.DoorTimer.Value -1 |
5 | end |
6 | end |
I have a timer gui script maybe you can use it if you cant find a solution (280 is the amount of seconds)
1 | local time = 280 |
2 |
3 | for i = time, 1, -1 do |
4 | wait(1) |
5 | script.Parent.Text = i |
6 | end |

Use :GetService() for the ServerStorage and Workspace services
Use :WaitForChild() to make sure an instance exists before using it
Explanation
Once your code gets to the while loop, the condition is checked, however, once that condition is false, then any code after the loop will run and you will be unable to have the loop occur again.
Instead, you can move the condition inside the loop as a if statement and change the condition value to true. Another option is using :GetPropertyChangedSignal() if you need to run any code after the loop. You can also use break to exit out of the loop.
Revised Server Script
01 | local Par = script.Parent |
02 | local DTimer = Par:WaitForChild("DoorTimer") |
03 | local DPar = Par.Parent |
04 | local AI = DPar:WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("PositionNumber") |
05 | local Footstep = DPar:WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("RemoteFunction"):WaitForChild("Footstep"):WaitForChild("Sound") |
06 |
07 | local Lighting = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("Freddy") |
08 | local WS = game:GetService("Workspace") |
09 | local World = WS:WaitForChild("Animatronics"):WaitForChild("Freddy") |
10 | local Closed = WS:WaitForChild("DoorL"):WaitForChild("Closed") |
11 |
12 | repeat |
13 | game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Wait() |
14 | until AI.Value == 5 |

Try using a while true do loop with an if statement saying if the door is closed. If it's closed then break out of the loop.
1 | while true do |
2 | wait(1) |
3 | script.Parent.DoorTimer.Value = script.Parent.DoorTimer.Value -1 |
4 |
5 | if not game.Workspace.DoorL.Closed.Value then |
6 | break |
7 | end |
8 | end |
