Player problem in serverscript

I wanted to make a timer for my game, but also want to change the UI timer. It worked, but I noticed it was only for the player joined and I deleted the function and left the following code:

local timer = game.Workspace.Colors.Timer 
timer.Value = 10
if plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time") then
	plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = 10
	while timer.Value > 0 do
		wait(1)
		timer.Value = timer.Value - 1
		plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = tostring(timer.Value)
	end
end

I tried to think but I can’t think of anything that solves it,

Is this the full code? I assume not cause the plr variable is not defined in the code.

Anyhow what you would want to do is this:

local function TimerForPlayer(plr, Time)
	local timer = game.Workspace.Colors.Timer 
	timer.Value = Time or 10
	if plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time") then
		plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = 10
		while timer.Value > 0 do
			wait(1)
			timer.Value = timer.Value - 1
			plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = tostring(timer.Value)
		end
	end
end


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	TimerForPlayer(plr)
end)

Anytime a player joins it will display the timer for them.
Now in the case you want to do it for all players at once, you can do this:

local function TimerForPlayer(plr, Time)
	local timer = game.Workspace.Colors.Timer 
	timer.Value = Time or 10
	if plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time") then
		plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = 10
		while timer.Value > 0 do
			wait(1)
			timer.Value = timer.Value - 1
			plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = tostring(timer.Value)
		end
	end
end


for _, Player in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
	TimerForPlayer(Player)
end

yup :]

this is a server script? you cant edit player gui in server scripts bub
convert to local script use remote events to tell client when to display the timer

Actually you can in fact edit UI that is in a players PlayerGui.

I tried doing the “for all player” because I’m trying to make four corners.
Nothing happens on the script.

local function TimerForPlayer(plr, Time)
	local timer = game.Workspace.Colors.Timer
	if Time == nil then
		Time = 10
	end
	timer.Value = Time or 10
	if plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time") then
		plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = 10
		while timer.Value > 0 do
			wait(1)
			timer.Value -= 1
			plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Timer"):WaitForChild("Time").Text = tostring(timer.Value)
		end
	end
end


for _, Player in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
	TimerForPlayer(Player)
end

I’ll try the other one now

local timerUI = plr:WaitForChild(“PlayerGui”):WaitForChild(“Timer”):WaitForChild(“Time”)
Now you can state timerUI.Text = and not have to repeat that line over and over.

That’s all I’m going to say … you may want to look at a few tutorials on timers.
