How can I make this 30 second countdown more efficiant?
I use countdowns a lot for things like intermissions, and it always works but I know there are much better ways to do it then how I do it, because the way that I do it is lengthy and kindof unreasonable. I'm just not exactly sure how. Help?
while true do
script.Parent.Text = "30"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "29"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "28"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "27"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "26"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "25"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "24"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "23"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "22"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "21"
wait(1)`
end -- and so on
this is usually what I would use, and so on but there has to be a more efficient way of doing it. Thank you in advance!

To add on to what Dovydas1118 said, you would want to make to keep track of players during a multiplayer game intermission, you can do something like this:
local continueScript = true
for i = 30,0,-1 do --Do zero because we don't want the countdown finishing at one
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
if #plrs > 2 then
wait(1)
else
continueScript = false
break --Break out of the loop
end
end
Then, for your main game code, do this:
if continueScript then
--Game code
else
print("Somebody left during intermission and we are waiting for players again
end
Hope this helped!

Use a for loop. A for loop is fine for a situation like this as it is in seconds, and not the usual minutes, seconds, etc.
for i = 30, 1, -1 do --counts down by 1 second
script.Parent.Text = tostring(i) --I put this in a tostring just in case it breaks
wait(1)
end
If you need to keep it on forever, then put a while true do at the top. Edit: I forgot to add a wait. My bad.
