"for i do" script is not working as intended

I’m creating an intermission script thing, and it’s supposed to do a countdown of 3 seconds, the problem is that it’s not working as intended! Everything is printed instantly instead of one number per second. I don’t know what I did wrong:

for i = 3, 1, -1 do
    print(i)
end

I just wrote that, there is no more code. Thanks for reading

What type of script is this? This should work. I do not understand what you expected it to do.

Its a normal script, set in Workspace.

4

add a wait(1) after the print statement.

5

Ok but what did you expect it to do. Server scripts run in workspace.

6

Add wait(1) after the print in order for it to not print everything instantaneously

I’m in a way very dumb, I forgot to add a wait(1)

As stated by @NeonNikilis, adding a wait(1) will halt the script for 1 second.

for i = 3, 1, -1 do
    print(i);
    wait(1);
end

However, print only post to output, so if you want the average Joe to see this consider using a ScreenGui
