Hi this is my first post on the devforum
I made a little local script that supposed to be a round system for my game
but it doesn’t work
Here is my code

local Time = game.ReplicatedStorage.Time
local timeText = game.ReplicatedStorage.TimerText
local textLabel = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Time.Value = 30
while true do
	wait(1)
	for i = Time, 0, -1 do
		timeText.Value = "game starts in "..i.."s"
		textLabel.Text = Time.Value
		if Time.Value == 0 then
			player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position = game.Workspace.Part.Position
			textLabel.Visible = false
			break
		end
	end
end

I tried everything please help
Also it Shows an error in the output
Workspace.LordBoboux.RoundSystem:6: invalid ‘for’ initial value (number expected, got Instance)

Wrong category.

Please change the category to #help-and-feedback:scripting-support

Nope, wrong category again.
The category is Scripting Support.

local Time = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Time")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local timeText = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("TimerText")
local textLabel = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel")

Time.Value = 30
