Is Text1 a variable? I don’t see you declaring it anywhere in that script…

#4

I assume you are setting the debounce variable at the start of the script?

#5

this will always make Number 44

local Text1 = script.Parent.TextLabel
local debounce = true

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if debounce then
        debounce = not debounce

        for Number = 45, 1, -1 do
            Text1.Text = Number	
            task.wait(1)
        end

        debounce = not debounce
    end
end)

it only changes once then stops

#8

yes, i didn’t put the whole script here. i think the problem is with the loop

#9

Actually, it won’t. Number - 1 would, whereas Number -= 1 sets the variable Number to once less than what it was.

However you’re right as the number is being re-set to 45 each time through the loop. @micopiri6 that’s the problem, set Number to 45 before the loop. :slight_smile:

I use that as a shortcut instead of number = number - 1

#11

I edited my reply

and yes it will!
the variable Number was declared in the for loop so it’s value would be like this

45 - 44 - 45 - 44…
