This code implements a countdown timer using a Lua script. Here's what it does:
-
Initialize Timer:
local timer = 20
: A local variabletimer
is initialized to 20, representing the number of seconds for the countdown.
-
RunTimer Function:
function RunTimer()
: A function namedRunTimer
is defined, which houses the countdown logic.
-
Countdown Logic:
while timer > 0 do
: Awhile
loop is used to continuously execute its body as long as the value oftimer
is greater than 0.wait(1)
: This pauses the execution of the script for 1 second (assumingwait()
is a function that introduces a delay; it’s often used in game engines like Roblox).timer = timer-1
: After each 1-second delay, the value oftimer
is decremented by 1.
-
Result:
- When the
RunTimer
function is executed, it will count down from 20 to 0, pausing for 1 second between each decrement. Oncetimer
reaches 0, the loop stops, and the countdown is complete.
- When the
Note: This code snippet doesn't handle what happens after the countdown completes, and there may be errors depending on the runtime environment or if wait(1)
isn't a defined function in the given context.
