How can I make a universal timer for everyone despite the fact that players join at different times?

My timer is changed upon joining a game so I was wondering how I would make the timer universal. The timer I have is based off of local players and is in the StarterGui.

Is the Timer in most games based on the first person who joins? I don't understand exactly how it works for their games.

game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Timer.Text=( Min .. " : " .. Sec)

This is how I display my Time on the screen so you can see that I use localplayer.

I was thinking of making two separate scripts to where one finds time universally I guess depending on the first person who joins.

The second would then find the localplayer's status on them being in game or not using the variable ingame to try to manipulate when someone is in game or not.

ingame is 0 when they are outside of the game and is 1 when they are in the game. I do not know how to find if they are inside or outside the game without this timer.

local Min = 3

local Sec = 0

ingame = 0

local Game = game.Workspace.Game.Position local Respawn = game.Workspace.Respawn.Position

while true do

if Sec == 0 then

Min = Min - 1

Sec = 60

else

Sec = Sec - 1

wait(1)

local SecondLength = tostring (Sec)

local SecondActualLength = #SecondLength

if SecondActualLength == 1 then

game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Timer.Text=( Min .. " : 0" .. Sec)

else

game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Timer.Text=( Min .. " : " .. Sec) --Normal Display

end

if Sec == 0 and Min == 0 and ingame == 0 then

ingame = 1

Min = 10 -- ingame time (time they will play in the game)

Sec = 0

local teleport = game.Players:GetChildren() --teleportation to the game

for i = 1, #teleport do

teleport[i].Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(Game.X, Game.Y, Game.Z))

end

end

if ingame == 1 and Sec == 0 and Min == 0 then

Min = 1 --sets time for intermission

Sec = 0

local respawn = game.Players:GetChildren() --teleportation back to spawn.

for i = 1, #respawn do

respawn[i].Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(Respawn.X, Respawn.Y, Respawn.Z))

ingame = 0

end end end end

I'm sorry for the horrible indention and sorry if you spend your time on this. It really is a bad explanation of what is going on but basically it is just a timer from intermission to being inside the game and is different for every player when someone joins so I'm wondering how to make it to where everyone has the same time.
