Wait(10) not working. Please help

Hi, I have made a simple timer script from a youtube tutorial for my football (soccer) game.

When there is a goal, it teleports everyone, freezes them for 10 seconds.

So, obviously I want to stop the timer for 10 seconds, since my round are only 2:30 minutes.

I’ve added some comments on placed I’ve tried to add it. It just does not work there.
As you can see there is also a part that checks if a remote event fires, then changes waitfunction to true. This also did not freeze the timer.

Script:

while true do
	-- I've tried to add it here.
	minutesvalue.Value = minutes
	secondsvalue.Value = seconds
	workspace.RedPoint.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
		waitfunction = true
	end)
	workspace.BluePoint.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
		waitfunction = true
	end)
    -- Here too.
	repeat
    --Here too, did not work.
		if waitfunction == true then
			wait(10)
			waitfunction = false
		end
		if secondsvalue.Value <= 0 then
			minutesvalue.Value = minutesvalue.Value - 1
			secondsvalue.Value = 59
		else
			secondsvalue.Value = secondsvalue.Value - 1
		end
		wait(1)
		
		if secondsvalue.Value == 1 and minutesvalue.Value == 0 then
			if timeextra == false then
				local extratime = math.random(0, 5)

				extratimeevent:FireAllClients(extratime)
				wait(1)
				secondsvalue.Value = 0
				minutesvalue.Value = extratime
				timeextra = true
			end
		end
		
		if secondsvalue.Value <= 0 and minutesvalue.Value <= 0 then
			timeextra = false
			game.Workspace.Ref.RefWhistle:Play()
			anim:Play()
			game.Workspace.Ref.GameOver:Play()
			game.Workspace.Gameover:FireAllClients()

			local red = game.Workspace.RedPoints
			local blue = game.Workspace.BluePoints

			local redwin = red.Value > blue.Value
			local bluewin = blue.Value > red.Value
			local tie = blue.Value == red.Value

			if redwin == true then
				game.Workspace.RedPoints.Value = 0
				game.Workspace.BluePoints.Value = 0
				game.Workspace.RedWins:FireAllClients()
				
				for i, v in pairs(game.Teams.Red:GetPlayers()) do
					v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):FindFirstChild("Wins").Value = v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):FindFirstChild("Wins").Value + 1
				end
			end

			if bluewin == true then
				game.Workspace.BlueWins:FireAllClients()
				game.Workspace.RedPoints.Value = 0
				game.Workspace.BluePoints.Value = 0
				for i, v in pairs(game.Teams.Blue:GetPlayers()) do
					v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):FindFirstChild("Wins").Value = v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):FindFirstChild("Wins").Value + 1
				end
			end

			if tie == true then
				game.Workspace.RedPoints.Value = 0
				game.Workspace.BluePoints.Value = 0
				game.Workspace.TieGame:FireAllClients()
			end
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.LobbyPart.CFrame
				workspace.arePlayersInMap.Value = false
			end
			wait(60)
			
			game.Workspace.Ball.Position = Vector3.new(-2.5, 3.799, -4.5 )

			resetRed()
			resetBlue()
			workspace.arePlayersInMap.Value = true
			game.Workspace.Ref.RefWhistle:Play()
		end
	until secondsvalue.Value <= 0 and minutesvalue.Value <= 0
	task.wait()
end

It’s meant to wait if a remote event fires.

The event does fire, but the script does not work.

#3

What exactly you have been adding to marked places? Was it just wait(10) or whole “if” statement?

#4

What I have added was something around the lines of:

workspace.RedPoint2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
      wait(10)
end)

However, I have now tried with 2 events, since I never actually fired the server, but that also did not make it work.
