Problem with a Timer System

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, so i’m having an issue with a timer system right now,
and i’m looking for help.

Issue Context

So basically what I did, is I made a function, with a countdown in it.
And when it hits 0, I called the function again so it keeps looping.
However, when the timer restarts, it goes 2x faster. (which is the issue)

EDIT : I just realised it speeds up when I die.

Script

local function StartGame(plr)

	--// Variables
	isTeleported = false
	plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("MapVoted").Value = ""
	values:WaitForChild("GameLength").Value = defaultGameLength
	values:WaitForChild("IntermissionLength").Value = 0
	local character = plr.Character
	local humRP = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local plates = workspace:WaitForChild("Lobby"):WaitForChild("VotingPlace"):WaitForChild("Plates")
	local blocksVotes = plates:WaitForChild("Blocks"):WaitForChild("VotesAmount")
	local cityVotes = plates:WaitForChild("City"):WaitForChild("VotesAmount")
	local forestVotes = plates:WaitForChild("Forest"):WaitForChild("VotesAmount")
	local skylandsVotes = plates:WaitForChild("Skylands"):WaitForChild("VotesAmount")
	
	--// Game Countdown
	for count1 = values:WaitForChild("GameLength").Value, 0, -1 do
		
		--// If it's not over
		if values:WaitForChild("GameLength").Value > 0 then
			values:WaitForChild("GameLength").Value -= 1
		end
		
		--// If it's over
		if values:WaitForChild("GameLength").Value <= 0 then
			values:WaitForChild("IntermissionLength").Value = defaultIntermissionLength
			
			--// Intermission Countdown
			for count2 = values:WaitForChild("IntermissionLength").Value, 0, -1 do
				
				--// If it's not over
				if values:WaitForChild("IntermissionLength").Value > 0 then
					values:WaitForChild("IntermissionLength").Value -= 1
					if not isTeleported then
						isTeleported = true
						humRP.CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild("Lobby"):WaitForChild("SpawnLocation").CFrame
					end
				end
				
				--// If it's over
				if values:WaitForChild("IntermissionLength").Value <= 0 then
					values:WaitForChild("GameLength").Value = defaultGameLength
					if blocksVotes.Value > cityVotes.Value and blocksVotes.Value > forestVotes.Value and blocksVotes.Value > skylandsVotes.Value then
						chosenMap.Value = blocksVotes.Parent.Name
					end
					if cityVotes.Value > blocksVotes.Value and cityVotes.Value > forestVotes.Value and cityVotes.Value > skylandsVotes.Value then
						chosenMap.Value = cityVotes.Parent.Name
					end
					if forestVotes.Value > cityVotes.Value and forestVotes.Value > blocksVotes.Value and forestVotes.Value > skylandsVotes.Value then
						chosenMap.Value = forestVotes.Parent.Name
					end
					if skylandsVotes.Value > forestVotes.Value and skylandsVotes.Value > cityVotes.Value and skylandsVotes.Value > blocksVotes.Value then
					chosenMap.Value = skylandsVotes.Parent.Name
					end
					humRP.CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild(chosenMap.Value):WaitForChild("TeamSpawns"):WaitForChild(plr.Team.Name).CFrame + Vector3.new(0,10,0)
					remotes:WaitForChild("ClientReplicator"):FireAllClients()
					break
				end
				
				wait(1)
			end
			
			break
		end
		wait(1)
	end
end

task.spawn(function()
	wait(2)
	remotes:WaitForChild("StartGame").OnServerEvent:Connect(StartGame)
end)

Thanks for helping!

are you firing the event on spawn?

thats because something is firing the function twice and the countdown relies on a IntValue (i believe) to determine if its over or not, instead of using the value to the count1 for checks

First thing use elseif and do not create only if’s

still would be tedious and slow to do, i recommend a for loop with math.max to get the highest votes

also use a moduel script to detect wich is the highest vote that will make your life eazyer

i dont see a line calling StartGame so i’d assume that you’re firing the event after respawning; which we dont have the information of when and where its fired

You should not connect remote events like this, as it will cause a memory leak.
