LocalScript:

local config = script.Config

-- Settings --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
script.Parent.Text = "Close Message 15 seconds"
wait(20)
while task.wait(0.001) do
	script.Parent.Text = "Close Message"..config.Count.Value.." seconds"

	script.Parent.Text = "Close Message "..config.Count.Value.." seconds" - config.Cost.Value
end
repeat 

until script.Parent.Text == "Close Message "..config.Count.Value.." seconds" == 0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- If the Close Message Button is equal to 0 seconds ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if script.Parent.Text == "Close Message" then
	script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	end)
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah, any help is appreciated !

The error is here, you can’t subtract a number from a string.
Instead do this:

"Close Message ".. config.Count.Value - config.Cost.Value .." seconds"
#3

It worked but it just removed by 0.001…

All i wanted it make the thing go to 0…

#5

Before it was 0.001 and now it’s 0.1

#6

is the problem, you’re trying to perform math on a string which is not possible. Calculate the time left first then put the result in the string

#7

Also here you use == twice which is not possible and it would still never end since you’re checking if a string just equals to a number

#8

In what intervals (time inside task.wait) and in what steps (Cost value) do you want the time to go down?

#9

The countdown called Count.

The Count’s NumberValue is at 15…

#10

Normal, it’s:

until script.Parent.Text == "Close Message "..config.Count.Value.." seconds" == 0

So this is why i did == twice…

Try this code out:

script.Parent.Text = "Close Message 15 seconds"
wait(20)

local currSec = config.Count.Value

repeat 
	task.wait(1)
	currSec -= 1
	script.Parent.Text = "Close Message " .. currSec .. " seconds"
until currSec <= 0

if script.Parent.Text == "Close Message" then
	script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	end)
end

It worked but the slight problem about the .1 situation is i get the 0’s for no reason…

#14

New script ?

local config = script.Config

script.Parent.Text = "Close Message 15 seconds"
wait(20)

local currSec = config.Count.Value

repeat 
	task.wait(.1)
	currSec -= .1
	script.Parent.Text = "Close Message " .. currSec .. " seconds"
until currSec <= 0

if currSec <= 0 then
	script.Parent.Text = "Close Message"
end

if script.Parent.Text == "Close Message" then
	script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	end)
end

I just figured it out myself.

Thanks to @Downrest to help me…

The script that i added was this:

if currSec <= 0 then
	script.Parent.Text = "Close Message"
end

So it can work.

Even thought it says Close Message -0.9999999999999965 seconds, it goes back to Close Message
