01 | local Time = "N/A" |
02 |
03 | while true do |
04 |
05 | if script.Parent.Value == 0 then |
06 |
07 | script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 32 |
08 |
09 | else |
10 |
11 | Time = script.Parent.Value - 1 |
12 | wait(1) |
13 | script.Parent.Value = Time |
14 | script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = Time |

@cookie_more You don't need to know the script's parent in order for you to help. zane21225 243 — 4y

I see some things that I am able to fix up!
Here's the fixed code, let me know if it works!
01 | local Time = 'N/A' |
02 | local timestart = 30 --how many seconds it counts down from |
03 |
04 | for i = timestart, 1, -1 do |
05 | wait(1) |
06 | Time = i |
07 | script.Parent.Value = Time |
08 | script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = Time |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 32 |
Also, if you're using a Server Script then the TextLabel's text will probably not update. Try handling everything related to GUIs via LocalScripts.

You are correct for everything, except GUIs will update if changed from server. User#30567 0 — 4y

^ My bad! I've just had experience with them not working well with ServerScripts. Will note! zane21225 243 — 4y
