Help? I am trying to make it so when the soundId changes, on the button it will count down from 125 on the scripts parents text. This wont work?

function onChanged()

local Time = 125
for i = Time, 0, -1 do
Time = i
wait(1)
end
script.Parent.Text = tostring(Time)
end

script.Parent.Parent.ScrollingFrame.Sound.SoundId:connect(Changed)

Haven't tested but im pretty sure I didnt make any errors

local CountDownFrom = 125

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    for i = 0,CountDownFrom,1 do
        script.Parent.Text = CountDownFrom - i
        wait(1)
    end
end)

for on Sound Id Change (didnt test this one either)

local CountDownFrom = 125

script.Parent.Parent.ScrollingFrame.Sound.SoundId.Changed:connect(function()
    for i = 0,CountDownFrom,1 do
        script.Parent.Text = CountDownFrom - i
        wait(1)
    end
end)

+1 pl0x?

This works, Thanks. Altho I realized it would be an easier task if it was onChanged, How would you do that? NotSoNorm 777 — 10y

For some reason that's not working, Is onChange even a function? NotSoNorm 777 — 10y

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I'm under the impression that you simply set the text to the given time on the wrong line -- You placed it after the loop...

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    local Time = 125
    for i = Time, 0, -1, do
        script.Parent.Text = tostring(Time)
        Time = i
        wait(1)
    end
end
