Alright, I am trying to make a good terminal script for my groups base but, It isn't working...

01local wintime = 1200
02local totaltime = 1200
03local timegodown = 1 -- how many seconds of time go down for the term
04local h = Instance.new("Hint")
05script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
06    if hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
07        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
08        if player then
09            if player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really black") then
10                script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
11                h.Parent = game.Workspace
12                h.Text = "The Necromongers Own the Term!"
13                wait(3)
14                h:Remove()
15            end

It's because you're telling it to print the same value each time.

wintime = 1200 timegodown = 1

wintime-timegodown = 1199

It's going to output this every time because that's what it equals.

You need to do something like this:

1while wait() do
2h.Text = "The Necromongers have " .. wintime .. " seconds left before Winning!"
3wintime = wintime-timegodown -- This assigns a new value to wintime each time thus dropping it by 1 each time giving you the result I believe you're looking for.
4end

Hope this helped!

You need to add somewhere in your script:

1timegodown = timegodown - 1
