so i want to make a timer but i am not sure why the value isn't changing or why the text isn't showing as the value. this is the script i have inside of the Textlabel
local Timer = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = (Timer.Value)
while true do
game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value = -1
wait(1)
end
The reason why this doesn't work is that the text isn't changing every time the value is changed. It was a small error but can be simply fixed by doing:
local Timer = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = (Timer.Value)
while wait(1) do
game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value -1
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = (Timer.Value)
end
If you wanted the timer to stop at zero, you could do something like this:
local Timer = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = (Timer.Value)
repeat wait(1)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value -1
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = (Timer.Value)
until
game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value == 0
It's easier to use Instance:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(callback)
