For loop only plays once

[DiamondSwordOfScript]

I have a ‘for’ loop that is supposed to play 100 times and reduce the current number by 100 and drop by 1 every 0.1 of a second. But when I press the button the number only drops by 1 and doesn’t play anymore. Any help appreciated

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	local Tempt = game.Workspace.GlobalVariables.Temp.Value
	print("Current Tempt: " .. Tempt)
	local MinusTempt = 100
	print("Minus Tempt: " .. MinusTempt)
	local FinalTempt = Tempt - MinusTempt
	print("Final Tempt: " .. FinalTempt)
	
	for i = Tempt, FinalTempt, -MinusTempt do -- -MinusTempt
		local Tempt2 = Tempt - 1
		wait(0.01)
		game.Workspace.TEMPMONITOR.Part.SurfaceGui.TextBox.Text = Tempt2 .. "F"
		game.Workspace.GlobalVariables.Temp.Value = Tempt2
		end
end)

What is the goal of this code (context, what does it do?)?

While the loop is running, you are subtracting Tempt (not changing) by 1, 100 times, not i which is being incremented by -MinusTempt.

@DiamondSwordOfScript

local Tempt2 = Tempt - 1

To solve your issue, you should change this line to local Tempt2 = i - 1

Let me know how you make out.

It just immediately went from 1000 changed to 999 then just went to 899 it didn’t gradually reduce the 1 it just straight up reduced by 100. Is this supposed to happen or am I just not getting this

Can you please send a screenshot of the console output when you click? I want to see what is being printed.

The loop stops because your decrement is -100, also known as -MinusTempt. The loop only runs 2 times since it removes 100 and then immediately reaches FinalTempt and then breaks out of the loop. If you want the loop to run 100 times the decrement should be -1 and your FinalTempt should be FinalTempt +1.

For what i assume is Tempt and Tempt2

	for i = 1, 100  do 
		Tempt -= 1
Tempt2 -= 1
		wait(0.01)
		game.Workspace.TEMPMONITOR.Part.SurfaceGui.TextBox.Text = Tempt2 .. "F"
		game.Workspace.GlobalVariables.Temp.Value = Tempt2
if Tempt 1 <= 0 or Tempt2 <= 0 then
break -- in case of loop not stopping
end 
		end
end)

Edit: didnt read right, ill provide better solution on this post later

^ This should be the solution @DiamondSwordOfScript

local Tempt = game.Workspace.GlobalVariables.Temp
local MinusTempt = 100
local FinalTempt

local db = true -- debounce so that you won't spam click with only 1 click
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if db == true then db = false
		print("Current Tempt: " .. Tempt.Value)
		print("Minus Tempt: " .. MinusTempt)
		FinalTempt = Tempt.Value - MinusTempt
		print("Final Tempt: " .. FinalTempt)
		
		local bigDrop = Tempt.Value - MinusTempt
		
		for Tempt2 = Tempt.Value,bigDrop,-1 do
			game.Workspace.TEMPMONITOR.Part.SurfaceGui.TextBox.Text = Tempt2 .. "F"
			game.Workspace.GlobalVariables.Temp.Value = Tempt2
			wait(0.01)
		end
		task.wait(2) -- wait seconds before you can click again
		db = true
	end
end)
