Need help making my timer better

u need to call forprep or what is it called, i think forgeprep??

#8

well he could just Textlabel = “round has started” and then it would work I think

#9

I edited it, that should do the exact same thing in the original script

#10

yeah but like textlabels are slow because of luau optimizations so i think you have to set it to something else, maybe game ?

#11

i think he said that he also want s it to loop so my solution should be correct

#12

also, you have an incomplete string (you’re missing a " at the beginning) so your script won’t work
you could fix this by changing 500 seconds remaining" to "500 seconds remaining"

#13

while loop too slow, you need to make it fast!!! (as fast as the roblox slack channel #ride-but-not-exactly-work)

#14

i mean it worked for me did u try updating your studio or turning it off and back on again

#15

you’re right i should have tried that

#16

i want it to count backwards please read the thread next time

#17 
  var i = 0, len = myArray.length;
    while (i < len) {
        // your code
        i++
    }

i think this should be faster i found it online hope this helps x

#18

this is in assembly language which i did never learn

#19

oh ok i thought it was lua I’m sorry :\ anyways I tried and I hope you have a good day

you need to convert it by using assembly runner in lua

#21

yeah i figuerd that out from stack exchange but thanks

#22

would
while true do

for i = 500, -1 do --counts backwards
Textvalue = “Time left:”…i
task.wait(1)
end
end

work or no

#23

I suggested that, he’s trying to use his code, so he’ll just use a while true do around his code I think

Ohh ok, because he typed all that right. @twinkqle I don’t know if your code will cause lag, but you should just use a loop next time to save your fingers, improve readability, and in case you ever want to change the round time. Impressive you typed this for 2 hours though.

use task.wait() instead of wait()

#26

unfortunately task.wait is more laggy and more typing so i will use wait instead sorry but thanks for the tip
