I don't know how to add a timer in this game I am making a hide and go seek game but I don't know how to make a random player chooser and a timer of when they get released to find the other players.
how to make a hide and go seek game with the timer and player chooser?

you could add a screen gui to the starter gui and edit it to whatever u want, then add a text label to that screen gui and then add this local script to the screen gui. This will only help with the timer, give me time as a think of a solution for the others.
local gui = script.Parent
local text = script.Parent.TextLabel
while true do
wait(1) --change ONLY this number to how long 1 game will last, in seconds
gui.Enabled = true
text.Text = 1
wait(1)
text.Text = 2
wait (1)
text.Text = 3
wait(1)
text.Text = 4
wait(1)
text.Text = 5
wait(1)
text.Text = 6
wait(1)
text.Text = 7
wait (1)
text.Text = 8
wait(1)
text.Text = 9
wait(1)
text.Text = 10
gui.Enabled = false
end
this SHOULD create a 10 second timer on someone screens, I have not tested it myself, and this will certainly not be good since its not linked to the rest of the game if it doesnt work remember im still a novice scripter. lmk in the comments

Def not gonna work, clients will have different time
not really sure what is the purpose of timer variable, oh by the way there's still a lot to improve so good luck, also use loops for timer
i have upvoted your post, good luck on scripting
by the way you can index TextLabel directly, not use GetChildren, GetChildren returns table, just do script.Parent.TextLabel
oh ok ty, i didnt know that also the timer variable was just in case
okay thanks for trying I could figure it out soon but I still need help with it
