If statement with While loop isn't working in Local Script?

Hi, i've a Local Script that controls time display and gui animation when there is extra added time or the game ends. Anyway the time script is controlled by server script ( to display the same time for everyone ). The problem is that the local script isn't doing the while true do part.

Local Script:

01local added = game.Workspace.Time.Added.Value
02local waitsecs = game.Workspace.Time.Wait.Value
03local min = game.Workspace.Time.Minutes.Value
04local sec = game.Workspace.Time.Seconds.Value
05local randomsec = game.Workspace.Time.Wait.Value
06 
07game.Workspace.Time.Changed:Connect(function()
08    script.Parent.Purple.Time.Text.Text = game.Workspace.Time.Value
09end)
10 
11while true do
12    wait(waitsecs)
13    print("Check") -- Checking if the main While loop is working
14    if min == 45 and sec >= 10 then
15        print("Extra") -- Checking if the If statement  is running or not but it isn't
16        script.Parent.AddedTime.Disabled = false
17        script.Parent.Purple.Time.Added.AddedT.Text = "+" .. added .. "'"
18        script.Parent.Purple.AddedTimeValue.Text = "+" .. added .. "'"
19    end
20        if min == 45 + added and sec >= randomsec then
21        print("End")
22        wait(2)
23        script.Parent.OutAnimation.Disabled = false
24        script.Parent.InAnimation.Disabled = true
25        wait(.8)
26        break
27    end
28end

Hello, What is happening is that the if is checking if min(game.Workspace.Time.Minutes.Value) is equals to 45 and sec(game.Workspace.Time.Seconds.Value) is equals or more than 10, but the value will never change, cause it will only get it on start.

Fixed code:

01local randomsec = game.Workspace.Time.Wait.Value -- 'randomsec' and 'waitsecs' are the same values, so no need to 2 variables
02 
03game.Workspace.Time.Changed:Connect(function()
04    script.Parent.Purple.Time.Text.Text = game.Workspace.Time.Value
05end)
06 
07while true do
08    local added = game.Workspace.Time.Added.Value
09    local min = game.Workspace.Time.Minutes.Value
10    local sec = game.Workspace.Time.Seconds.Value
11    wait(waitsecs)
12    print("Check") -- Checking if the main While loop is working
13    if min == 45 and sec >= 10 then
14        print("Extra") -- Checking if the If statement  is running or not but it isn't
15        script.Parent.AddedTime.Disabled = false
16        script.Parent.Purple.Time.Added.AddedT.Text = "+" .. added .. "'"
17        script.Parent.Purple.AddedTimeValue.Text = "+" .. added .. "'"
18    end
19        if min == 45 + added and sec >= randomsec then
20        print("End")
21        wait(2)
22        script.Parent.OutAnimation.Disabled = false
23        script.Parent.InAnimation.Disabled = true
24        wait(.8)
25        break
26    end
27end

Well that works, i forgot that the min's won't update. As well as randomsec and waitsecs aren't the same values i just defined them wrong. Thanks again vBaRaAx02 1 — 6y

It's better to use 'while wait() do' instead of 'while true do' or roblox will kill your script cailir 284 — 6y
