Why does it do this?
Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.
local TimeLimit = 360 TimerStart() for i = TimeLimit, 0, -1 do Time = "Time: " .. tostring(math.floor(i / 60)) .. ":" .. tostring(i % 60) --TickSound() G_MSG.Value = Time wait(1) end
When the time turns at 5:09 it turns to a 5:9 instead of 5:09 as i want it to!
Help!?

string.format
When you hit 09, Lua doesn't see the leading 0s and just turns it into 9 as a string. The solution is to look into string formatting to make sure that it knows you want the leading 0s.
string.format(
'Time: %.1d:%.2d', -- % means it's a new symbol, .1/.2 is how many places (As a minimum), d means a number (With no decimal places)
time/60, -- Our minutes
time%60 -- Our seconds
) --> 5:09

Well that's no use then. I can't help you if you don't understand your original script. User#6546 35 — 8y

Did you look on the page I linked, and read my comments? %.1d literally means a number to 1 place, and %.2d means the same to 2 places. I can't explain it any better than I already have. User#6546 35 — 8y
