Hello! I would like to make my textLabel update from 5 to 0 simultaneously while the loading bars are increasing in ascending order. How can I achieve this?
What I need is to make the number “1” that I have marked in the image go from 5 to 0, so it would be “5, 4, 3, 2, 1,” while the for loop for the loading bars is increasing in ascending order. The way it is currently working for the loading bars is perfect. How can I achieve this with the textLabel marked in the image so that it goes from 5 to 0?
-- Countdown timer loop
for i = countdownDuration, 0, -1 do
if shouldContinueCountdown then
-- Change the color of each bar in loading_Cooking_UI
local loadingGui = playerGui:FindFirstChild("loading_Cooking_UI")
if loadingGui then
local allBarsGreen = true -- Flag to check if all bars are green
local vars = countdownDuration - i + 1
for _, bar in ipairs(loadingGui.Frame.loading_bar:GetChildren()) do
if bar:IsA("Frame") then
local textLabelCounter = loadingGui.Frame.counterTextLabel
-- Assuming you have white bars, you can change the color to something else
bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 1, 0) -- Change to green (adjust as needed)
if bar.BackgroundColor3 ~= Color3.new(0, 1, 0) then
allBarsGreen = false -- If any bar is not green, set the flag to false

Never mind! I managed to do it, lol! Oh my God… it’s almost 2 am in my country, and I was able to figure it out. Thank you all for your help, and good night!
