Game jumps right to the end when it starts up

[EncodedVenom]

If you’re so lost on this subject you should probably read the many duplicate threads created about it to get yourself oriented. Among those threads, there’s a few tutorials that are out there. (I found these videos on a thread listed above, and it was marked as a solution.)

Okay, I think I understand what you could do in this situation.

local Active = true
local GameLength = 60
local Label = --insert your label here
local Val = --value here; make sure to set it to 50 by default


while Active == true do
	Val.Value = Val.Value - 1
       Label.Text = (Val.Value)
	--code here
	--when game ends do
	Val.Value = 50
	Active = false
end

Just what you will need to incorporate for this to work out.

Remember to use a IntValue. Place this in a area that will be accessible.

There was nothing wrong with the for loop structure, I don’t see why you can’t use it.

local GameLength = 50

for i=GameLength, 0, -1 do
    -- Checks every second b/c a person might die and such
    wait(1)
end

Just insert the checks every second and you got a working loop.

The issue is with this part, not the for loop itself:

@epicrobloxmaster22

for i  = GameLength,0 -1 do 
	
	for x, player in pairs(plrs) do
		if player then
			
			character = player.Character
			
			if not character then 
			
			else
				if character:FindFirstChild("GameTag") then 
					--Stil Alive
					print(player.Name.."Is still In the Game!")
				else
					--There dead
					table.remove(plrs,x)
					print(player.Name.."Has Been Removed!")
				end
			end
			else
			table.remove(plrs,x)
			print(player.Name.."Has Been Removed!")
		end
	end
	
	Status.Value = "There are "..i.." Seconds Remaining, and "..#plrs.." players left"
	
	if #plrs == 1 then 
		Status.Value = "The Winner Is "..plrs[1].Name
		plrs[1].leaderstats.Bucks.Value = plrs[1].Leaderstats.Bucks.Value + reward
		break
	elseif #plrs == 0 then
		Status.Value = "NoBody Won This Round"
		break
	elseif i == 0 then
Status.Value = "Time is Up!"
	break
	end
	
	wait(1)
end

Problem is, the loop will instantly jump to the end. It doesn’t matter if there is any wait in it; the game is only checking for the loop and seeing if it is going to end or not.

[Messeras]

I don’t understand what you mean by that being the problem, the loop is what’s causing most of the issue as on the second that the loop is asked to start; it will start going through each one of the numbers with 0 delay.

[lifacy]

Not because of the for loop but because of the code inside of it. There is a wait(1) at the bottom.

Loops are asynchronous first off; he was right in his for loop coding. Second off @epicrobloxmaster22 I suggest you comment out checks individually to see which one is the issue if you wish to continue using the code you made.

I think It is a Problem With my script So I am going to re read My script to see if I see it

[epicrobloxmaster22 (WaterTanx)]

@epicrobloxmaster22

for i = GameLength,0 -1 do

Found My Own Problem I did some Testing and Well its
for i = GameLength,0,-1 do

[lifacy]

Yes you do need a second comma there.

[epicrobloxmaster22 (WaterTanx)]

Next Time I am not trying loops Im going to stick to my basics

[EncodedVenom]

I’m honestly surprised nobody noticed for this long. Kudos for solving your own issue.
