Possible to change countdown value? Keeps reverting to original value.

Asked 193 views1 answers

So when the game time counts down, when I try to change the value, it immediately reverts back to what it was, further continuing the countdown.

local GameTime = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameRequirements.GameTime

for v = 60, 0, -1 do
		wait(1)
		GameTime.Value = v
		print(v)
wait(5)
game.ReplicatedStorage.GameRequirements.GameTime.Value = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameRequirements.GameTime.Value -game.ReplicatedStorage.GameRequirements.GameTime.Value

So I am trying to make it so that after 5 seconds, the game time will subtract its current value, ending with a value of 0. Say it was at 45 and the script would change the value to 0, it would revert back from 0 to 45. Any reason why this happens? Thanks for the help.

I see you either have some experience with python or it's just a mistake.

local gameTime = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameRequirements.GameTime

for i=60,0,-1 do
	wait(1)
	gameTime.Value = i
	print(i)
end
wait(5)
gameTime.Value = 0

The script still attempts to change the value, but it will immediately revert to the previous number and continue the countdown

It's either another part of the script or another script entirely that's reverting it.

it would most likely be happening because of the countdown, thanks anyways.
