I have a timer gui model for my game but I need it to reset when it hits zero how do I do this?
while true do
wait (1)
if script.Parent.Text == "0" then return end
script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Text -1
end
I need the timer to reset at zero but I don't know how to do this there's no tutorials about this or anything, please help.

It is better to use a for loop instead as it is more efficient. Also, return is for functions. To end a loop, you would use break
Here is what you do:
local seconds = 60 -- change this to how long you want your timer to run for
while true do -- to loop the timer.
for i = seconds,0,-1 do
script.Parent.Text = tostring(i)
wait(1)
end
script.Parent.Text = seconds
end

Then how could I loop it? FreddydehNoob101 -3 — 6y

Just put a while true do loop around the for loop. UgOsMiLy 1074 — 6y

Where exactly would I put a while true do at what line? FreddydehNoob101 -3 — 6y

put "while true do" at line 2 and "end" on line 8. UgOsMiLy 1074 — 6y

Do I put anything near while do true? Cause when I try it, it doesn't work. FreddydehNoob101 -3 — 6y

What does the output say? UgOsMiLy 1074 — 6y

It says expected 'do', got 'script'. FreddydehNoob101 -3 — 6y

Inside the ScreenGui that it's in, there should be a property named "ResetOnSpawn". Uncheck that. UgOsMiLy 1074 — 6y
