Trying to make a Timer

Hello! If you have played Juke’s Towers of Hell before, you will understand. I’m working on my JToH Fangame and i’m trying to get a timer that goes from 00:00:00, and never ends unless someone touches the winpad (it starts when someone touches a tower portal and gets teleported to the tower)

os.clock runs on a persons cpu and will be at different speeds than others.

i would use tick() bec it will be the same everywhere.

but it didnt work out for me. i dont know why tho

#5

why not doing
seconds = 0
minutes = 0
hours = 0

while wait(1) do
    seconds += 0
    if seconds == 60 then
        minutes += 1
        seconds =0
    end
    if minutes == 60 then
        minutes = 0
        hours += 1
    end
game.workspace.timer.Value = hours .. ":" .. minutes .. ":".. seconds
-- this is a stringvalue or somthing
end

and on client u just do

game.workspace.timer.Changed:Connect(function(NewValue)
clientsTextLabel.Text = NewValue
end)

or do u need something more accurate or faster like milliseconds ?

with 00:00:00 i meant

first 00 = minutes

second 00 = seconds

third 00 = milliseconds

You can do for loops and stop the loop when they touch the pad

#9

stays the same change wait(1) to wait(0.1) and rename seconds to milisecond minutes to second and hours to minutes

I recommend you DON’T use wait() for timers, as they don’t really wait for the exact time you specified. I’d rather use tick() like how @AC_Starmarine mentioned and use RunService as in how @heII_ish used.

Example code:

local playersService = game:GetService("Players")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local startBrick = workspace.StartBrick
local finishBrick = workspace.FinishBrick

local timerLabel = script.Parent.Label
local timer = 0

local runConn

startBrick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if player ~= playersService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then return end
	if runConn then return end

	local startTime = tick()

	runConn = runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
		timer = tick() - startTime
		timerLabel.Text = string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i",
			math.floor(timer / 60),
			timer % 60,
			timer % 1 * 100
		)
	end)
end)

finishBrick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if player ~= playersService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then return end
	if not runConn then return end

	runConn:Disconnect()
	runConn = nil
end)
