I want a timer to start when a TextBox has changed, but won't work. Why?
I have a TextBox and I want it to time the amount of time it takes to type in a certain piece of text, however, whenever I have used the 'Changed' function it just starts multiple timers every time the TextBox has changed. This is what I have come up with so far but can't figure out the rest. (Local script)
Code:
01 | local timer = 0 |
02 |
03 | script.Parent.enterText.Changed:Connect(function() |
04 | while timer < 60 do |
05 | if timer > 1 then |
06 | print("Timer started") |
07 | wait(1) |
08 | timer = timer + 1 |
09 | else |
10 | timer = timer + 1 |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |

You can do this using the Focused event.
1 | -- Simplified version |
2 | local timer = 0 |
3 |
4 | script.Parent.enterText.Focused:Connect(function() |
5 | for i = 0, 60 do |
6 | timer = i + 1 |
7 | wait(1) |
8 | end |
9 | end) |
