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:
local timer = 0
script.Parent.enterText.Changed:Connect(function()
while timer < 60 do
if timer > 1 then
print("Timer started")
wait(1)
timer = timer + 1
else
timer = timer + 1
end
end
end)

You can do this using the Focused event.
-- Simplified version
local timer = 0
script.Parent.enterText.Focused:Connect(function()
for i = 0, 60 do
timer = i + 1
wait(1)
end
end)
