How do i make a counddown timer in a Gui from text?
So, i know a way to make a timer the only way, but the one i want goes for 5 mins. I can type 5 mins. (script.Parent.Text = '4:59I would have to do that but lower the number is the harder way.) of a certain code over, and over, and over again! Can someone help me?

There's multiple ways of doing it. Depending on your game, really. But one thing you don't want to do is '4:59' -- You can use a for loop though, that would go for 300 seconds iamnoamesa 674 — 7y

You can use the Modulus operator for this. %
The Modulus operator takes the remained and removes it from the input. 63%60 would be 60 + 3 remaining, so it returns 3.
5 minutes would be 300 seconds. (Or just do 60*5)
To get rid of the "4:10", "4:9", "4:8" i do tostring("0"..math.floor(i%60)):sub(-2). This forms the numbers to a string and takes the last 2 values from it, giving you 04:10, 04:09, 04:08
A countdown timer would look like this:
for i=300,0,-1 do
local Minutes = tostring("0"..math.floor(i/60)):sub(-2)
local Seconds = tostring("0"..math.floor(i%60)):sub(-2)
TextLabel.Text = Minutes..":"..Seconds
wait(1)
end
