How to add a visual cooldown on a button?
so ive got a teleport book in my game and i want to add a visual cooldown along with an actual one.
heres the script ive got
local reqLevel = 1
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
if player.leaderstats.Lvl.Value >= reqLevel and player.Character then
player.Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(173.51, 385.797, 118.025))
end
end)
i could just add
script.Parent.Visible = false wait(120) script.Parent.Visible = true
after the coords but im needing a visual timer and im lost with that, im assuming it would be done with a for loop, but i dont know how to make it a visual count down on the book, any help to steer me in the right direction would be appreciated :P

for the visual countdown I would recommend a While Wait() do loop, so just edit as follows
a = 0 -- Used to set a's first value
Place_number_amount_here = 10 --Type amount of times you want loop to run here!
--Two values not needed, just used to make it easier.
num = Place_number_amount_here
while wait() do
a = a - 1 --subtracts 1 to a
--Code goes here
if a == num then --Get number
break -- Stop loop if a == num.
end
end
Hope this helped

Thanks for the reply. so i put this into my script like you said, but do i have to do something with a textlabel? because i dont see how it would print out the timer on my book :p sorry when i said noob i meant big time noob, nicros 165 — 9y

This will not work you will need to place it in a coroutine and a for loop would be much more helpful. It would work on it's own but if you're adding to your game you need coroutines. Ryzox 220 — 9y

thanks for the help both of you, i ended up mixing my buttons and script with a stop watch script i had and inverted that script to count down instead of up nicros 165 — 9y
