Help me with time countdown

[Eiro_exe (Kepler)]

I’m having a problem with when a player resets their character or dies countdown starts over.

here this my problem

local countdownTime = 1 * 60 
local textLabel = script.Parent.TextLabel 

local function CountDown()
	repeat
		local minutes = math.floor(countdownTime / 60)
		local seconds = countdownTime % 60
		textLabel.Text = string.format("%02d : %02d", minutes, seconds) 
		wait(1)
		countdownTime -= 1
	until countdownTime <= 0

	-- Kick player when time is up
	game.Players.LocalPlayer:Kick("Time's up!")
end

CountDown()

Thank for reading

Try disabling the countdown UI’s ResetOnSpawn property and I would suggest changing the local-sided script to a server-sided one because local client kicks can be bypassed easily

I would also recommend changing your repeat until loop into a for loop instead, and using another function to format the time accordingly. Using repeat until isn’t a very good or efficient way of making a countdown.

local function toMS(s)
	return ("%02i:%02i"):format(s/60%60, s%60)
end

local function CountDown()
	for i = countdownTime, 0, -1 do
		textLabel.Text = toMS(i) 
		task.wait(1)
	end
	
	...
end
