The left frame has the Ready and Controls buttons.
The right frame is It is used to show the player when the player presses the ready button.
And then the problem is What should I do if all the players tick all the boxes and the game starts immediately? (P.S. I make a ghost game but I don’t know how to do it.)
– Video of my map
If you don’t understand what I’m trying to convey, I have an example of that game. which I use as inspiration
It is from 00:00 to 00:20 seconds.
I may reply a little late. I apologize here too.
so if I’m understanding correctly, you wish to skip the wait timer if you press ready?
Yes, but what do you do when everyone presses the ready button and the game starts immediately? I have 2 rough pictures below in case it’s easier to understand.

Just to understand, you want to wait until all players are “ready” and not start imidiately when player clicks ready?
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m going to convey.
Alrighty! Do you handle the timer in a server script and use the ready buttons to send remote events currently or how have you implemented your current version?
My timer is in the client inside the TextLabel. I have a script that I made earlier. Can I send you the code line?
Of course, you can send what you have made so far and we can figure it out 
Make sure to wrap the code with backticks so it’ll be easier to read!
```
print(“Hello World”)
```
Turns to:
print("Hello World")

end
end
end)
Ok awesome! What I’m seeing here is that you have a way to start the game with this:
So when a player toggles themselves ready, you should check if everyone is ready and then activate the GameRunning. Something like this:
SentPlayerStatus.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, bool, name)
local playerStatus = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStatus", 5)
local isReady = playerStatus:WaitForChild("IsReady", 5)
isReady.Value = bool
local AllReady = bool
for i, v in pairs(rep.PlayerIsReady:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BoolValue") and v.Name == name then
v.Value = bool
AllReady = AllReady and v.Value
end
end
if AllReady then
-- Start the game!
end
end)
I also recommend handling the timer on the server because now if I join my timer starts ticking but if you join 10 seconds later then my timer and your timer will not be the same
Hopefully this helps you forward! Let me know if you got more questions!
EDIT: Had a typo
I’m going to take the test. If it doesn’t work, I’ll reply and tell you what’s wrong. I’ll come back soon. 
I went to test it with my friend, but
It seems that if we “Ready” it will be ticked. But the other person isn’t “Ready” yet, he crosses the line, the game starts right away.
Did I write something wrong?
Are you able to send your updated scripts here so we can take a look?
Previously, I forgot to bring the script, so I’ll put the “Ready” button here as well.
Here Button Ready Handler
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
local SentPlayerStatus = rep:WaitForChild("SentPlayerStatus", 5)
local playerStatus = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStatus", 5)
local isReady = playerStatus:WaitForChild("IsReady", 5)
local Button = script.Parent
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if not isReady.Value then
SentPlayerStatus:FireServer(true, plr.DisplayName)
else
SentPlayerStatus:FireServer(false, plr.DisplayName)
end
end)
and a update timer in local script
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local runs = game:GetService("RunService")
local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
local SentPlayerStatus = rep:WaitForChild("SentPlayerStatus", 5)
local GameRunningEvent = rep:WaitForChild("GameRunningEvent", 5)
local playerStatus = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStatus", 5)
local isReady = playerStatus:WaitForChild("IsReady", 5)
local TimerText = script.Parent
local isReady = false
local ServerData = workspace:WaitForChild("ServerData", 5)
local LobbyRunning = ServerData:WaitForChild("LobbyRunning", 5)
local GameRunning = ServerData:WaitForChild("GameRunning", 5)
local ServerData = workspace:WaitForChild("ServerData", 5)
local TimerValue = ServerData:WaitForChild("Timer", 5)
function updateTimer()
TimerText.Text = TimerValue.Value
if TimerValue.Value <= 0 then
GameRunningEvent:FireServer(true)
LobbyRunning.Value = false
GameRunning.Value = true
end
end
updateTimer()
TimerValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(updateTimer)
and timer server
local ServerData = workspace.ServerData
local TimerValue = ServerData.Timer
local intermission = 300
for i = intermission, 0, -1 do
TimerValue.Value = i
task.wait(1)
end
and the last one server side to sent BoolValue to IsReady
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SentPlayerStatus = rep:WaitForChild("SentPlayerStatus", 5)
SentPlayerStatus.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, bool, name)
local playerStatus = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStatus", 5)
local isReady = playerStatus:WaitForChild("IsReady", 5)
isReady.Value = bool
local AllReady = bool
for i, v in pairs(rep.PlayerIsReady:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BoolValue") and v.Name == name then
v.Value = bool
AllReady = AllReady and v.Value
end
end
if AllReady then
print("Start")
end
end)
Sorry for the long code line. Because I didn’t manage the line of codes as well enough. I apologize here.
Sorry for the slow response! I think you are very close to being done.
First lets remove the time runs out logic from the localscript and only leave what we need:
local ServerData = workspace:WaitForChild("ServerData", 5)
local TimerValue = ServerData:WaitForChild("Timer", 5)
local TimerText = script.Parent
function updateTimer()
TimerText.Text = TimerValue.Value
end
updateTimer()
TimerValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(updateTimer)
And then lets combine Timer server and script that sets boolvalue to IsReady:
local ServerData = workspace.ServerData
local TimerValue = ServerData.Timer
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SentPlayerStatus = rep:WaitForChild("SentPlayerStatus", 5)
local ServerData = workspace:WaitForChild("ServerData", 5)
local LobbyRunning = ServerData:WaitForChild("LobbyRunning", 5)
local GameRunning = ServerData:WaitForChild("GameRunning", 5)
local ForceStart = false
SentPlayerStatus.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, bool, name)
local playerStatus = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStatus", 5)
local isReady = playerStatus:WaitForChild("IsReady", 5)
isReady.Value = bool
local AllReady = bool
for i, v in pairs(rep.PlayerIsReady:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BoolValue") and v.Name == name then
v.Value = bool
AllReady = AllReady and v.Value
end
end
if AllReady then
-- Everyone is ready! Activate the game!
ForceStart = true
end
end)
local intermission = 300
for i = intermission, 0, -1 do
if ForceStart then
-- Everyone is ready! End the timer early!
TimerValue.Value = 0
break
end
TimerValue.Value = i
task.wait(1)
end
LobbyRunning.Value = false
GameRunning.Value = true
-- Start the game for everyone!
Hopefully that works out for you!
Sorry for the late reply. It’s the same again. I wrote exactly as you did but it’s still the same.
There is a video attached. But it might be a little jerky, but that’s okay.
And update all script
update timer in local script
local TimerText = script.Parent
local ServerData = workspace:WaitForChild("ServerData", 5)
local TimerValue = ServerData:WaitForChild("Timer", 5)
function updateTimer()
TimerText.Text = TimerValue.Value
end
updateTimer()
TimerValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(updateTimer)
and the last one server side to sent BoolValue to IsReady
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SentPlayerStatus = rep:WaitForChild("SentPlayerStatus", 5)
-- Valueables
local ServerData = workspace:WaitForChild("ServerData", 5)
local LobbyRunning = ServerData:WaitForChild("LobbyRunning", 5)
local GameRunning = ServerData:WaitForChild("GameRunning", 5)
-- Timers Asset
local ServerData = workspace.ServerData
local TimerValue = ServerData.Timer
-- Modules
local modules = rep:WaitForChild("Modules", 5)
local DialogueModule = require(modules:WaitForChild("Dialogue"))
local Objective = require(modules:WaitForChild("Objective"))
local ForceStart = false
local isTalking = false
function dialogue1()
task.wait(1)
if not isTalking then
isTalking = true
DialogueModule.AllPlayerDialogue("Where are we?.", 3)
task.wait(3)
isTalking = false
end
task.wait(3)
if not isTalking then
isTalking = true
DialogueModule.AllPlayerDialogue("Where is this place and we are unconscious?", 3)
task.wait(3)
isTalking = false
end
task.wait(3)
if not isTalking then
isTalking = true
DialogueModule.AllPlayerDialogue("Why is this place so bad? Must get out of here", 3)
task.wait(3)
isTalking = false
end
task.wait(1)
Objective.CreateObjective("Find flashlight", "Objective_Normal", workspace.Items.Flashlight.Name)
Objective.CreateObjective("Find candle", "Objective_Pick", "Candle", 5)
task.wait(3)
Objective.CreateObjective("Place candle", "Objective_Place", "Candle", 5)
end
SentPlayerStatus.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, bool, name)
local playerStatus = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStatus", 5)
local isReady = playerStatus:WaitForChild("IsReady", 5)
isReady.Value = bool
local AllReady = bool
for i, v in pairs(rep.PlayerIsReady:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BoolValue") and v.Name == name then
v.Value = bool
AllReady = AllReady and v.Value
end
end
if AllReady then
-- Everyone is ready! Activate the game!
print("Everyone is ready! Activate the game!")
ForceStart = true
end
end)
local intermission = 300
for i = intermission, 0, -1 do
if ForceStart then
-- Everyone is ready! End the timer early!
TimerValue.Value = 0
break
end
TimerValue.Value = i
task.wait(1)
end
LobbyRunning.Value = false
GameRunning.Value = true
print("Start the game for everyone!")
dialogue1()
I added a dialoge and objective system below timer ran out the time
Ok I figured out what the issue is, can you send me the localscript where you run SentPlayerStatus:FireServer? I’ll edit the code once I get on studio
okay, no problem
Here the SentPlayerStatus come from
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
local SentPlayerStatus = rep:WaitForChild("SentPlayerStatus", 5)
local playerStatus = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerStatus", 5)
local isReady = playerStatus:WaitForChild("IsReady", 5)
local Button = script.Parent
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if not isReady.Value then
SentPlayerStatus:FireServer(true, plr.DisplayName)
else
SentPlayerStatus:FireServer(false, plr.DisplayName)
end
end)
It is inside my “Ready” button
