The script is disabled when the ‘disabled’ property is ‘true’.
Right now that would disable it if the peoperty were ‘enabled’.

Set it to true instead.

Disabled is the property name, setting ‘disabled’ to true instead of false (as it does currently) stops it from running.
Replace ‘false’ with ‘true’.

What does the other script run? If it’s a loop I’ve seen this happen from time to time.
If it uses a loop do

local running = true

repeat
    -- whatever goes here
until running == false

then set running to false using a bindable event or remote event.

local time = 80
for i = 1, 80 do
wait(1)
time = time - 1
script.Parent.Text = tostring(time)
end

that is what the script runs :smile:

That should stop as intended, I’m sorry but I don’t know why this isn’t working.
You could move this to #help-and-feedback:scripting-support in case i’m not noticing something here.

Hey, setting the Disabled to true will just prevent it from running when game/player starts/joins, it will not stop the thread (the script while running).

In order to stop the thread, you’ll have to break your for loop using events or such things.
