This code was working just fine then from nowhere it started to give the error shown below.

I honestly don’t know why I have look at some other people with this problem and tried their solution anyone got any ideas what might cause it?

#2

Which line is this on, it would be greatly appreciated if you indicate which line this error is on?

#3

Yes sorry about that forgot the line numbers I added an image to better show it.

#4

You managed to input a strange character before your -

(I changed my character encoding to ANSI instead of UTF-8 becuase ANSI does not support the invisible character and so you can see where the issue is)

Copy your local newTime = resetTime <U+202C>- (os.time()-startTime) line directly and delete it.
Then paste this in:
local newTime = resetTime - (os.time()-startTime)

You might’ve hit ALT then pressed some numbers on your keypad.

Here is a random character I got by holding ALT and mashing my numpad: ╤
