Countdown doesn't work properly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey, so i want to Debugg my Countdown script im working on…

im having issue with the Text that gets diplayed it works one time but after that if i press my button again the Countdown displays and quickly changes again to the countdown and again and again, again… you get it right?

so its very important that if i click the button again the Countdown works normally and if the button is not clicked and the Countdown is over the script should wait until the button is clicked and repeats.

local roundLength = 30
local intermissionLength = 0
local inRound = game.ReplicatedStorage.inRound
local Status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status	



local function roundCountdown()
		while wait() do
			for i = roundLength, 1, -1 do
				inRound.Value = false
				wait(1)
			Status.Value = "Game: "..i.." seconds left!"
            print(Status.Value)			
			    end
			for i = intermissionLength, 0, -0 do
				inRound.Value = false
				wait(1)
			Status.Value = "intermission: Press the Button to Start the Game!"
		   end
		end
     end

local onCooldown = false

wait(game.Workspace.General.Button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(click)
	

	    if onCooldown == false then

		onCooldown = true
	
		spawn(roundCountdown)
		
		
		task.delay(30, function()

	    onCooldown = false
		end)
	end
end))

so if you could fix the little thing im having issues with i would learn something from it and i can work on other parts of my game.

try this

local roundLength = 30
local intermissionLength = 0
local inRound = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("inRound")
local Status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Status")	
local onCooldown = false
local function roundCountdown()
          for i = roundLength, 1, -1 do
			inRound.Value = false
			task.wait(1)
			Status.Value = "Game: "..i.." seconds left!"
            print(Status.Value)			
			  end
			for i = intermissionLength, 0, -0 do
			inRound.Value = false
			task.wait(1)
			Status.Value = "intermission: Press the Button to Start the Game!"
    end
end

game.Workspace.General.Button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(click)
	    if onCooldown == false then
		onCooldown = true
		spawn(roundCountdown)
		task.delay(30, function()
	    onCooldown = false
		end)
	end
end)
