Rounds Script Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to figure out how to get my timer to work when I load in the game, it works perfect when I run the game but it freezes at 0:02 on the client side. This is the only script I have pertaining to the system and it is a server script inside of Workspace. Here is my script so far:

local tiles = TileList:GetChildren()
local Timer = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.TextLabel
looptimes = game.Workspace.loopTimes
lasertimes = game.Workspace.laserTimes

local function FireLaser()
	
	local randomTile = tiles[math.random(1, #tiles)]
	print("Tile "..randomTile.Name.." was choosen!")
	
	wait(0.5)
	for i = 1,10,1 do
		wait(0.05)
		randomTile.Transparency = randomTile.Transparency + 0.1
	end
	
	randomTile.CanCollide = false
	wait(2)
	
	for i = 1,10,1 do
		wait(0.05)
		randomTile.Transparency = randomTile.Transparency - 0.1
	end
	
	randomTile.CanCollide = true
	wait(0.5)
	
end

while true do
	local loopTimes = 1
	for i = 1,20,1 do
		print(loopTimes)
		Timer.Visible = true
		if loopTimes > 9 then
			Timer.Text = "0:"..tostring(loopTimes)
		else
			Timer.Text = "0:0"..tostring(loopTimes)
		end

		wait(1)
		loopTimes = loopTimes + 1
	end
		Timer.Visible = false
		
	local laserTimes = 1
	for i = 1,5,1 do
		FireLaser()
		laserTimes = laserTimes + 1
	end
	wait(2)
end```

If anyone could point out where my code is wrong or maybe even give me a possible solution that would be great, thanks for reading my post! PS. This timer has to be and is made to be the same for everyone in the server.

One of your problems here is how your “timer” variable is referencing the starter gui. When a player spawns in, contents of the starter gui container are put into their player gui. You’d have to access the PlayerGui through a local script!

#3

How do I access variables through other scripts, because I would have to get the data, the Timer variable, to/for the server script?

#4

Look into remote events and functions! An alternative could also be having a value on the server and the client checks for value changes

#5

But it isn’t a function or an event, since it is just declaring a variable. Would I just have an event that declares the variable and even then I can’t save it to something or at least not something I am aware of.

#6

Use events to send what the variable is or create a value in replicatedstorage and keep setting the text to that value. Set the values value to the variable
