Is there a better way to make a loop for a timer

#22

When disabled, it stops the script. When you enable it, it runs the script from the start.
Just like when you enter a game.

does that stop the current thread?

#24

Yes, it will stop any threads/loops.

from my understanding you need a timer that can be interrupted.

local Start = os.clock() -- get current time
while Flag do -- Flag is a variable so the timer can be stopped before time is up.
    task.wait() -- doesn't have with the issues wait() has
    if os.clock() - Start >= Time then -- check the current time minus the start time is greater than or equal to the time to run for
        print("Timer finished!")
        break -- timer ran for full duration
    end
end
if not Flag then
    print("Timer was cut short!")
end

some of the other answers are way over complicated for a simple timer and can be hard to understand later when you want to make changes. By the way, runservice and its different events are explained here: RunService
