In a For Loop the numbers can be positive or negative (See picture)


You can make the 3rd Value Negative than instead of adding something like +1 it adds -1 which is counting down

for i = loops can actually take a third argument, detailing the increment! An example of what you want could be
for i = 5,0,-1 do
print(i) --5,4,3,2,1,0
end
