I'm trying to make a round timer with intermission, etc, (I have everything else set up) but the timer doesn't stop at 0, it goes into the negatives. Also, I don't know if I made the other parts correctly since I can't get past this part, thanks in advance if you are able to help.
while true do
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Text - 1
if script.Value.Value == 0 then
wait(162)
script.Parent.Text = "Intermission"
wait(20)
script.Parent.Text = 60
end
end
You can use a for loop instead:
function Countdown()
for i = 60, 0, -1 do -- 60 = start, 0 = goal, -1 = step to reach goal, i = progress
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = i
end
end
function Loop()
Countdown() -- note that any code below a for loop will not run until the loop is finished
wait(162)
script.Parent.Text = "Intermission"
wait(20)
Loop() -- repeat function
end
Loop()
local functions pls
If you don't want to use this method you can fix your script by placing the if statement above the wait(1)
Thank you!
and change '== 0' to '<= 0' which means less than or equals to 0
Loop calling itself like that will eventually cause a stack overflow, I don't know the specifics, but if you instead do return Loop() on line 13 this issue won't occur.
You're right. Why would Loop() be returned though? Loop is void, a loop to call Loop is enough.
@theCJarmy7 I did what you suggested (returning loop function) and it stacked overflowed..

why are you subtracting the text, and use Changed events over loops to check if a value changes.
