I'm trying to fix my countdown function. How did I make 120 timers?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Specifically this script

for i = 120, 0, -1 do
			if timer > 0 then
				if completedminigame == false then
					print("timer")
					timer = timer - 1
					textmaker.Text = timer
					wait(1)
				else
					for i,v in ipairs(workspace.CurrentCamera:GetChildren()) do
						v:Destroy()
					end
					textmaker.Text = ""
					Player.Character:WaitForChild("Board"):Destroy()
					game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ResetButtonCallback", true)
					wait(1)
					textmaker.Text = ""

				end
			elseif timer <= 0 then
				print("Minigame failed")
				for i,v in ipairs(workspace.CurrentCamera:GetChildren()) do
					v:Destroy()
				end
			end
			textmaker.Text = ""
			Player.Character:WaitForChild("Board"):Destroy()
			game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ResetButtonCallback", true)
			Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = 0
			wait(1)
			textmaker.Text = ""
		end

some other guy said i made 120 timers. How do i fix this?
I want it to go down to 0
but it goes to zero instantly by the next second

not a lot to go off here, as there seem to be a couple of missing variables and you havent told what exactly you wanted it to do.

howeverr i believe the problem is that the variable named timer should actually be the i for the for loop.

#3

Okay so the timer variable is 120

#4

I think i already tried that. i doesn’t work because when it hits 0 it doesn’t use the other if function

#5

still not a lot to go off of, but have you tried to put continue and break at the end of some of your if statements?

#6

Wait im sorry lemme give you the entire script

Yes i used a bunch of prints because im so bad at fixing bugs

I already put the timer variable at 120 roblox studio didnt save my updated script
it didnt work

#8

this script is itself a act against god.
who names a instance script.poo?

Okay so the timer variable is 120

…its set to 15

also you never set it back to 15 after the function finishes so it’d only one run once before breaking, unless this script was only meant to run once that is a major flaw and is also the same problem with the completedminigame bool.

i tried to fix it so see if this new script solves your problem

I have my ways of scripting :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

now that i think about it i think im going mentally insane over this script

thats understandable, it does infact look like a Cognito hazard
