How do I make a GUI timer that does not reset when a new player joins?
I made a GUI timer that works, but when someone rejoins or joins the game, the timer for that person resets while for others the timer remains as it is.
How do I make a timer that displays what value it is on when a new player joins instead of reseting back to 60 for that person?

I would use a NumberValue in ReplicatedStorage that acts as the timer. For every second that passes, you can change its Value from a server script, and listen to the .Changed of the value from the local scripts to update the gui. This way, when a player joins, their script will pick up the change and update their gui to be synced with the others.
For example, if there was a NumberValue called Timer in ReplicatedStorage, you could do this in a server script:
local Timer = 1
while true do
game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Value = Timer
Timer = Timer + 1
wait(1)
end
And in a LocalScript inside the gui:
game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Changed:Connect(function(NewVal)
script.Parent.Text = "time passed: " .. NewVal
end)
Which should keep all clients up-to-date, regardless of when they join.
