tbh what if it gets to the end? what now?

maybe put a while true do at the top and end at the bottom

hope this helps

#3

Try a loop of some sort:

for i = 500, 1, -1 do
script.Parent.Text = i.." seconds remaining"
wait(1)
end

script.Parent.Text = "round started"

infact this should be the exact solution you need

#4

thats a good point, i just added the while true do thing and i think that wil make it so it just retires if it messes up, right now it is a spinning rainbow wheel on my computer so the script is loading but i will let you know how it goes thx

i dont this this would work because he wants it to say round started at the end and there is no way for the eloop to do that.

#7

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
