Need help with script

Heres the script, my problem is that the game duration is suppose to count down when the game starts but instead, after it says Go, it says “Game Starting” but I want it to count down the game duration. Hopefully someone can help me


local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

local intermission = 2
local gameDuration = 60

while true do
	local IngamePlayers = {}
	local gameEnded = false
	while wait(1) do
		status.Value = "Waiting for enough players. Hop on the pink circle to begin."
		for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if player.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true and not table.find(IngamePlayers, player.Name) then
				table.insert(IngamePlayers, player.Name)
			end
		end
		if #IngamePlayers >= 1 then
			break
		end
	end
	-- choosing next game
	status.Value = "Game starting..."
	wait(2)
	for i = intermission,0,-1 do
		status.Value = "Teleporting in "..i.. " seconds"
		wait(1)
	end
	status.Value = "Teleporting Players..."
	wait(1)
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if table.find(IngamePlayers, player.Name) and player.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
			local randomSpawn = redLightGreenLight["Spawns"]:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #redLightGreenLight["Spawns"]:GetChildren())]
			player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = randomSpawn.CFrame
		end
	end
	wait(2)
	for i = 5,0, -1 do
		status.Value = "Starting in " ..i
		wait(1)
	end
	status.Value = "Go!"
	wait(1)
	spawn(function()
		while true do
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
					v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Visible = true
					v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Green Light"
					v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.GreenLightColor.Value

				end
			end

			while not gameEnded do
				for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
					if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Red Light"
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.RedLightColor.Value
					end
				end
				wait(math.random(2,4))
				for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
					if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Green Light"
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.GreenLightColor.Value
					end
					wait(math.random(1,6))
				end
			end
			for i = gameDuration,0,-1 do
				status.Value = i.. " seconds remaining"
				wait(1)
			end
			gameEnded = true
		end
	end)
end

Try removing the “spawn(function()” and the “end)”.

at which part? can u copy the script and edit it and paste it?

Like this:

local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

local intermission = 2
local gameDuration = 60

while true do
	local IngamePlayers = {}
	local gameEnded = false
	while wait(1) do
		status.Value = "Waiting for enough players. Hop on the pink circle to begin."
		for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if player.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true and not table.find(IngamePlayers, player.Name) then
				table.insert(IngamePlayers, player.Name)
			end
		end
		if #IngamePlayers >= 1 then
			break
		end
	end
	-- choosing next game
	status.Value = "Game starting..."
	wait(2)
	for i = intermission,0,-1 do
		status.Value = "Teleporting in "..i.. " seconds"
		wait(1)
	end
	status.Value = "Teleporting Players..."
	wait(1)
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if table.find(IngamePlayers, player.Name) and player.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
			local randomSpawn = redLightGreenLight["Spawns"]:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #redLightGreenLight["Spawns"]:GetChildren())]
			player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = randomSpawn.CFrame
		end
	end
	wait(2)
	for i = 5,0, -1 do
		status.Value = "Starting in " ..i
		wait(1)
	end
	status.Value = "Go!"
	wait(1)
		while true do
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
					v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Visible = true
					v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Green Light"
					v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.GreenLightColor.Value

				end
			end

			while not gameEnded do
				for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
					if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Red Light"
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.RedLightColor.Value
					end
				end
				wait(math.random(2,4))
				for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
					if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Green Light"
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.GreenLightColor.Value
					end
					wait(math.random(1,6))
				end
			end
			for i = gameDuration,0,-1 do
				status.Value = i.. " seconds remaining"
				wait(1)
			end
			gameEnded = true
		end
end

Thank you! I’ll try if this works

Uhm its kinda fixed but theres another problem, it still doesnt count down. The status is just stuck at “Go!” and doesnt count down gameduration

I’m pretty sure spawn is deprecated, and coroutine is better in general, so it’s better to use that. Also, I’m not going to take the time to go through this fully, sorry, but I recommend changing all of the wait()'s to task.wait() as wait() is deprecated and lastly, all of the while true do’s should be in coroutines as to not prevent the rest of the code from happening.

local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

local intermission = 2
local gameDuration = 60

while true do
	local IngamePlayers = {}
	local gameEnded = false
	
	coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
		while wait(1) do
			status.Value = "Waiting for enough players. Hop on the pink circle to begin."
			for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if player.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true and not table.find(IngamePlayers, player.Name) then
					table.insert(IngamePlayers, player.Name)
				end
			end
			if #IngamePlayers >= 1 then
				break
			end
		end
	end))
	-- choosing next game
	status.Value = "Game starting..."
	wait(2)
	for i = intermission,0,-1 do
		status.Value = "Teleporting in "..i.. " seconds"
		wait(1)
	end
	status.Value = "Teleporting Players..."
	wait(1)
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if table.find(IngamePlayers, player.Name) and player.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
			local randomSpawn = redLightGreenLight["Spawns"]:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #redLightGreenLight["Spawns"]:GetChildren())]
			player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = randomSpawn.CFrame
		end
	end
	wait(2)
	for i = 5,0, -1 do
		status.Value = "Starting in " ..i
		wait(1)
	end
	status.Value = "Go!"
	wait(1)
	coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
		 coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
			while true do
				for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
					if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Visible = true
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Green Light"
						v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.GreenLightColor.Value

					end
				end
			end))
			coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
				while not gameEnded do
					for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
						if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
							v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Red Light"
							v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.RedLightColor.Value
						end
					end
					wait(math.random(2,4))
					for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
						if v.Info:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying").Value == true then
							v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.Text = "Green Light"
							v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.TextColor3 = v.PlayerGui.Main.LightColor.GreenLightColor.Value
						end
						wait(math.random(1,6))
					end
				end
				for i = gameDuration,0,-1 do
					status.Value = i.. " seconds remaining"
					wait(1)
				end
				gameEnded = true
			end))
		end
	end))
end
