My countdown script won't even show the numbers, am I doing something wrong?
Hi there, i'm a relativity new scripter and have seem to have hit a wall on this script. I have had many attempts to try and overcome this issue, yet nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated and useful notes will be bellow.
local Counting = game.StarterGui.CountDown.Frame Counting.Three.Visible = true wait(1) Counting.Three.Visible = false Counting.Two.Visible = true wait(1) Counting.Two.Visible = false Counting.One.Visible = true wait(1) Counting.One.Visible = false Counting.Go.Visible = true wait(1) Counting.Go.Visible = false Counting.Parent.Enabled = false
notes:
-this is in a local script.
-this is after an activation script (I have tried without it disabled, making it enabled at the start without a trigger script yet it still didn't work).
-The count down is a located in game.workspace.starterGui.ScreenGui.ButtonFrame2.TextButton.Counting (script name)
-It activates numbers in a starter gui that are text labels from
game.workspace.StarterGui.CountDown.Frame.Three/Two/One/Go (text label names)
-no errors in the output
That's about it I think, I've probably missed out something major but thanks for any answers, it would help a lot.
edit: miss wording leading to things sounding weird

First things, first. You shouldn't use seperate textlabels for seperate numbers, just use one textlabel. The script should've gone like this
-- we will use Count.Three as our lone textlabel
for i = 1, 3 -- this is how many times it will loop so in this case 3 times because you're waiting 3 seconds.
Count.Three.Text = i
wait(1) --amount of time you want it to wait
end
Count.Three.Text = "Go!" -- this changes after you do the 3, 2, 1 thing.

Please accept my answer if this helped ;) ~tantec
