Why does my GUI text not change to the intermission time?
I tried to make a minigame intermission script but it isn't working, my script is down below.
--// Variables local MapStorage = workspace.MapStorage local IntermissionTime = 15 local Players = game.Players:GetChildren() local Status = game.ReplicatedStorage.StatusValue.Value local RoundInProgress = false --// Intermission while wait(1) do if not RoundInProgress and #Players > 2 then for i = IntermissionTime, 0, -1 do Status = "Intermission: ".. i end elseif not RoundInProgress and #Players < 2 then Status = "2 or more players are required to start" end end
I also have a script in the gui which sets the text to the status value, that is working fine so I narrowed this script down to the problem.

First of all, your status variable needs to be the instance of the StringValue itself and not the value because you need to change the value later on. Second, you should add a wait() around line thirteen where the script is counting down the intermission. Third, your script needs a way to break out of the for loop just in case a player leaves while the game is counting down. Finally, the script should probably be able to break out of the while loop as well when the game starts. This would make the script look like this:
--// Variables
local MapStorage = workspace.MapStorage
local IntermissionTime = 15
local Players = game.Players:GetChildren()
local Status = game.ReplicatedStorage.StatusValue
local RoundInProgress = false
--// Intermission
while wait(1) do
if not RoundInProgress and #Players > 2 then
local startRound = false
for i = IntermissionTime, 0, -1 do
if #Players < 2 then break end
Status.Value = "Intermission: ".. i
wait(1)
if i == 0 then startRound = true end
end
if startRound then break end
elseif not RoundInProgress and #Players < 2 then
Status.Value = "2 or more players are required to start"
end
end
