Timer

[crystal valve]

Hello. So I made a timer showing only when a player touches a specific part. However, when it counts, everybody can see it. How can I make sure that the player who touched the part is the ONLY ONE that views the timer?

Script located in ServerScriptService:

rs = game.ReplicatedStorage
TimeSeconds = rs.Seconds
TimeMinutes = rs.Minutes
TimeHours = rs.Hours
TimerParte = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("TimerPart")

local debounce = false

TimerParte.Touched:Connect(function()
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        for i = 0, 86400, 1 do
    
            TimeSeconds.Value += 1
    
            if TimeSeconds.Value == 60 then
                TimeSeconds.Value = 0
                TimeMinutes.Value += 1
            end
    
            if TimeMinutes.Value == 60 then
                TimeMinutes.Value = 0
                TimeHours.Value += 1
            end
    
            wait(1)
        end
    end
end)

The local script for displaying the timer:

TimerGUI = script.Parent
rs = game.ReplicatedStorage
timerlabel = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
TimerParte = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("TimerPart")

TimerParte.Touched:Connect(function()
    rs.Seconds.Changed:Connect(function()
        timerlabel.Text = tostring(string.format("%0.2i", rs.Hours.Value) .. ":" .. string.format("%0.2i", rs.Minutes.Value) .. ":" .. string.format("%0.2i", rs.Seconds.Value))
    end)
end)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

thats because the timer values are in replicatedstorage

any gui can detect if its changing

so everybody can see it

you have to put the timer values inside the script

[crystal valve]

oh

lemme try that

[umbral walrus]

i mean inside the localscript

[crystal valve]

oh

[umbral walrus]

wait

[crystal valve]

and to make the gui only visible to the player who touched the part?

localscript yes

cuz the values have to be only for local player

[umbral walrus]

let me edit it rq

[drowsy ruin]

** You are now Level 7! **

[crystal valve]

oh wait, I just have to put the script with the values inside StarterPlayerScript?

to make them local

[umbral walrus]

yeah that will work

[crystal valve]

ok i'll test

[umbral walrus]

but you have to make it a local script

a script inside a starterplayerscript wont work

[crystal valve]

ye$

[spice salmon]

Yo, what you need help with?

[crystal valve]

wait am testing and i will say if it works

[spice salmon]

I see you are trying to make a timer so you can use something like this:

[crystal valve]

mine works dw, i just want to display the timer to just the player who touches the part

and also makes the values local

[spice salmon]

Aight, but this might be a better way

[crystal valve]

so it always starts to 0

I'm a guy who respects the rule: If it works, don't touch

xd

alr so, i tested, it doesnt work$

i changed variables etc, but doesnt work

[umbral walrus]

did u change the values inside the localscript in gui?

[crystal valve]

ye

[umbral walrus]

can you show me

[crystal valve]

TimerGUI = script.Parent
timerlabel = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
TimerParte = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("TimerPart")

TimerParte.Touched:Connect(function()
    game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.TimerScript.Seconds.Changed:Connect(function()
        timerlabel.Text = tostring(string.format("%0.2i", game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.TimerScript.Hours.Value) .. ":" .. string.format("%0.2i", game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.TimerScript.Minutes.Value) .. ":" .. string.format("%0.2i", game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.TimerScript.Seconds.Value))
    end)
end)

Local script in GUI ^

[umbral walrus]

ye its wrong

lol

[spice salmon]

Oh god whats that

[crystal valve]

lmao

i couldnt use the variable btw in the string;format cuz it wont update after so

so have to do each time manually but its ok

[umbral walrus]

give me a sec

[crystal valve]

sure

[umbral walrus]

change game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts with game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts

[spice salmon]

Here, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years (I was bored one day)

** You are now Level 31! **

[spice salmon]

!rank

[umbral walrus]

damn

[crystal valve]

ok so the timer works now

why it failed before?

[umbral walrus]

game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts this is wrong

[crystal valve]

well this is the path?

[umbral walrus]

you have to check the player scripts

[spice salmon]

Everything in StarterPlayer get cloned in player when join

[crystal valve]

ah

alr

and now, how to make

gui visible to the player who touched the part?

[umbral walrus]

TimerParte.Touched:Connect(function() local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer Player.PlayerGUI.TimerCount.Visible = true

[crystal valve]

Enable works no?

[umbral walrus]

oh its a GUI

[crystal valve]

cuz the gui is "invisible" cuz there is not text

[umbral walrus]

mb

ye its enable instead of visible

[crystal valve]

btw, u made a mistake in writing

It's PlayerGui, not PlayerGUI

i got an error but its fixed now

now lemme test on 2 players

mhmmm doesnt <ork

[umbral walrus]

wait

TimerParte.Touched:Connect(function(player)
if player == game.Players.LocalPlayer then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TimerCount.Enable = true
end

oh wait nvm

hmm

TimerParte.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

if player == game.Players.LocalPlayer then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.TimerCount.Enable = true
end

[crystal valve]

ok so now it works

but the timer isnt resetted

I think ik why

[umbral walrus]

just reset it

[crystal valve]

I will fix it later cuz I have smth to do, i leave the post open in case

[umbral walrus]

lol
