Hi,

How would I do a countdown going up (1,2,3), after going down (3,2,1 ) looked everywhere but I cant seem to find a solution.

#2

Can you be more specific about what you want to do exactly?

#3

Alright so,

I want to do a countdown like they do with rocket launches, so the countdown goes 5,4,3,2,1 then when the rocket lifts off it’ll go 1,2,3,4,5.

#4

I already have the countdown going down, but no idea how to make it go up when its 00:00

You would need to use debounce for this type of situation

Here is a article that covers more about it: Debounce

Example 
local UIButton = script.Parent
local Debounce = false

UIButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	if not Debounce then
		Debounce = true
		print("Now wait to click again!")
		wait(5)
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

I am having trouble reading this. How does a timer relate to a denounce?

Regarding the topic, you would have to do something like this:

local num = 10
while true do
wait(1)
num = num - 1
if num == 0 then break
end

while true do
wait(1)
num = num + 1
end

You can do this,

local seconds = 3

-- going from 3 to 1

for i = 3, 1, -1 do
seconds = i
wait(1)
end

-- going from 1 to 3

for i = 1, 3, 1 do
seconds = i
wait(1)
end

Hey there! There was a similar topic made by another user to which I answered with some code from a while ago,

Hope this helps!
