Please do not take anything incapaz says under consideration. FlynnXRider 4 — 6y

I recommend using tables {} for your messages and for i loops. This code can very well look much cleaner and easier to read. MessorAdmin 598 — 6y

You shouldn’t be using Hint’s since they are deprecated. Instead, use TextLabel’s and ScreenGui’s.

01-- LocalScript
02 
03local plr = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
04local pgui = plr:WaitForChild'PlayerGui'
05 
06local screenGui = Instance.new'ScreenGui'
07screenGui.Name = 'MessageGUI'
08screenGui.Parent = pgui
09 
10local message = Instance.new'TextLabel'
11message.Name = 'MessageLabel'
12message.Parent = screenGui
13-- You can edit more properties, such as position and color, etc.
14 
15message.Text = ""-- put your message here and just keep going
16 
17local countdownString = "The message will now repeat for the last time in "
18 
19------ Some later on code here ------
20 
21for i = 5, 0, -1 do --makes the countdown script
22    message.Text = countdownString.. tostring(i) .. ":D"
23 
24    if i == 0 then
25        message.Parent:Destroy()
26        break
27    end
28    wait(1)
29end
