Why won't timer work with string value thing yes?

local Time = "N/A"

while true do
	
	if script.Parent.Value == 0 then
		
		script.Parent.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 32
		
	else
		
		Time = script.Parent.Value - 1
		wait(1)
		script.Parent.Value = Time
		script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = Time
		
	end
	
end

I see some things that I am able to fix up!

Here's the fixed code, let me know if it works!

local Time = 'N/A'
local timestart = 30 --how many seconds it counts down from

for i = timestart, 1, -1 do
wait(1)
Time = i
script.Parent.Value = Time
script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = Time
end

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.
