You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? A good timer

  2. What is the issue? It works in Run but not in Play

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Trying to look for the issue but I dont see it

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local label = script.Parent

local function startTimer(timeLeft)

	RunService:BindToRenderStep("Timer", Enum.RenderPriority.Last.Value -1, function(delta)

		timeLeft -= delta

		local minutes = math.floor(timeLeft / 60)
		local seconds = math.floor(timeLeft % 60)
		local hundreths = math.floor(timeLeft % 1 * 100)

		label.Text = string.format("%02i:%02i.%02i", minutes, seconds, hundreths)
		if label.Text == "00:00.00" then
			label.Text = "00:00.00"
			workspace.B.Script.Disabled = false
			script:Destroy()
			
		end
	end)
end

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

This doesn’t answer your question but why do you set the text to 0 when the if statement checks if the text is 0?

When it reaches below 0, it just goes -1:59.99

Since this is a server script, why not use Heartbeat instead of RenderStepped?

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local label = script.Parent

local function startTimer(timeLeft)
	RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(delta)

		timeLeft -= delta

		local minutes = math.floor(timeLeft / 60)
		local seconds = math.floor(timeLeft % 60)
		local hundreths = math.floor(timeLeft % 1 * 100)

		label.Text = string.format("%02i:%02i.%02i", minutes, seconds, hundreths)
		if label.Text == "00:00.00" then
			label.Text = "00:00.00"
			workspace.B.Script.Disabled = false
			script:Destroy()
			
		end
	end)
end

did you try using < “00.00.01” and see if that makes a difference?
