  1. What do you want to achieve? So I want the timer to start when I say game.ReplicatedStorage.StartTimer.Value = true

  2. What is the issue? The issue is that it’s not wanting to start the timer even tho the value == true

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I have tried to look everywhere but did not find anything that works. I also tried to use debounce but it was still not working.

and if statement looks good maybe its cause you didnt set it to true

It’s still not working… -----------------------

5

are you making the game.ReplicatedStorage.StartTimer to true?

6

Oh, wait a second. --------------------

I’m not sure about this, and I can’t be bothered to write a code but maybe do like

game.ReplicatedStorage.StartTimer:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
if game.ReplicatedStorage.StartTimer.Value == true then
-- your code here
end)

BRUH! Is it only me or I forgot to put StartTimer.Value

Nvm, it worked. Thank you so much, I have been trying to fix this for like 3-4 hours.
