Cframe regen system not updating when vehicle leaves area (video example)

Hey fellas. Below I have a regen script for my plane system and a video example of what i want and what’s going on.

Expectation:

.
.
.
Reality:

.
.
.
The problem if you didn’t understand:
In the first video you can see that I regen the plane, and a countdown begins. If i leave the area the countdown ends and the regen button reappears. In the first video you can also see me wait for the countdown to end, and when it does, the regen button reappears and i regen the plane, and my previous plane is destroyed.

Everything works in my replica except that the countdown fails to stop even though I left the area. Why?

Code:

local Range = 10
local Spawn = script.Parent.Spawn
local button = script.Parent.Button
local investment = button.Investment.Value
local fixedprice = button.Fixedprice.Value
local price = button.Price.Value
local blue = game.Teams.Blue
local red = game.Teams.Red
local board = game.ReplicatedStorage.Board
local bsecurity = board.Blue.Misc.SecurityLevel.Value
local rsecurity = board.Red.Misc.SecurityLevel.Value
local name = button.Displayname.TextLabel
local label = button.Cooldown.TextLabel
local Vehicle = script.Parent.BlueFighter
local OldVehicle = Vehicle:Clone()
Vehicle:Destroy()

db1 = true
function regenerate()
if not db1 then
   return
else
   db1 = false
   local Vehiclesinspawn = script.Parent:GetChildren()
   for i = 1,#Vehiclesinspawn do
   	if Vehiclesinspawn[i].Name == "BlueFighter" then
   		if (Vehicle.PlaneSeat.CFrame.p-Spawn.CFrame.p).magnitude <= Range then
   			Vehicle:Destroy()
   			end
   		end

Your countdown is linear. There’s nothing actually checking whether the plane is out of distance inbetween each second. Create a for loop that checks if the plane is out of the area then make it cut the countdown short.

local i = 0
i = 15
while (Vehicle.PlaneSeat.CFrame.p-Spawn.CFrame.p).magnitude >= Range do
	if i >= 1 then
		label.TextTransparency = 0
		button.Transparency = 1
		name.Transparency = 1
		button.CanCollide = false   
		i = i - 1
		label.Text = i
		if (Vehicle.PlaneSeat.CFrame.p-Spawn.CFrame.p).magnitude <= Range then
			label.TextTransparency = 1
			name.TextTransparency = 0
			button.Transparency = 0
			button.CanCollide = true
			break
		end
		wait(1)
	end
	if i == 0 then
		label.TextTransparency = 1
		name.TextTransparency = 0
		button.Transparency = 0
		button.CanCollide = true
		break
	end
end
