Hello, you that you are setting the starting value to one and the taking minus x.
This is the correct script:
1 | local number = 600 |
2 | for x = number, 1, -1 do --third argument is the increment |
3 | script.Parent.Text = x |
4 | wait(1) |
5 | end |

I have a timer as well and I feel that what you're doing is slightly wrong. Rather than doing
1 | local Var1 = 600 |
2 | for x = 1, Var1 do |
3 | script.Parent.Text = Var1-x |
4 | wait(1) |
5 | end |
you should do
1 | local Var1 = 600 |
2 | script.Parent.Text = Var1 |
3 | for x = 1, Var1 do |
4 | Var1 = Var1 - 1 |
5 | script.Parent.Text = Var1 |
6 | wait(1) |
7 | end |
So what this does is it will subtract one from the text and rather than doing do you did just do it like that.
so now it will be 600 and subtract one from it.
or you can do
1 | local Var1 = 600 |
2 | script.Parent.Text = Var1 |
3 | for x = 1, Var1 do |
4 | script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Text - 1 |
5 | wait(1) |
6 | end |
They both work the first one is more for you though.

1 | local num = 600 |
2 |
3 | for i = 1,600 do |
4 | script.Parent.Text = num |
5 | wait(1) |
6 | num = num -1 |
7 | print(num) |
8 | end |
