I want to make a time counting script shorter, help?
I want to make a time counting script with less words so that I can finish earlier. More specifically, the timer will never stop until a game is found.
Script:
local textLabel = script.Parent textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:01" wait(1) textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:02" wait(1) textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:03" wait(1) textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:04" wait(1) textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:05" wait(1) textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:06" wait(1) textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:07" wait(1) textLabel.Text = "Looking for: 00:08" wait(1)

That's still applicable... Nobody should have to spoon feed you scripts that you don't understand. T0XN 276 — 6y

We can use a loop for this:
local waitedTime = 0
local function getFormattedTime(timeToFormat)
local flooredTime = math.floor(timeToFormat)
local minutes = math.floor(timeToFormat / 60)
local seconds = math.floor(timeToFormat % 60)
local formattedMinutes = minutes < 10 and "0" .. minutes or minutes
local formattedSeconds = seconds < 10 and "0" .. seconds or seconds
local formattedTime = formattedMinutes .. ":" .. formattedSeconds
return formattedTime
end
while true do
textLabel.Text = getFormattedTime(waitedTime)
-- wait(1) will wait for at least a second, but could be for any time longer than that, so we simply add the return value, which is the time waited, to the total waited time
waitedTime = waitedTime + wait(1)
end
