How do I check when a for loop is done?

So this is my script:
local seconds = 180
for i = 1,seconds do
wait(1)
seconds = seconds - 1
script.Parent.Music.Purchase.Text = seconds…" seconds until you can add another song"
end
After the timer hits zero, how would I make it say “Purchase” again?

Just place it after the end of the for loop. For loops suspend the current thread to do it’s thing, and then continues once they’re done.

The easy way to do it is to just put code after the end for the for loop, setting the text back to purchase.

local seconds = 180

for i = 1, seconds do
  script.Parent.Music.Purchase.Text = seconds .. " seconds until you can add another song"
  wait(1)
  seconds = seconds - 1
end

script.Parent.Music.Purchase.Text = "Purchase"

The code above is yours, I would use the following code to make it actually show the time not the current time from 1 → 180

local seconds = 180

for i = seconds, 0, -1 do
  script.Parent.Music.Purchase.Text = seconds .. " seconds until you can add another song"
  wait(1)
end

script.Parent.Music.Purchase.Text = "Purchase"
