local timer = 20 function RunTimer() while timer > 0 do wait(1); timer = timer-1 end print("The time is over!") end RunTimer()

The provided Lua code creates a timer that counts down from 20 seconds and displays a message when the countdown ends. Here's an explanation of what it does:

  1. Initialize the timer: local timer = 20 sets the initial value of the timer to 20 seconds.

  2. Define the RunTimer function:

    • Inside this function, a while loop continuously checks if the timer is greater than 0.
    • The wait(1) function pauses the loop for 1 second (presumably from a framework like Roblox where wait is defined).
    • After waiting 1 second, the timer variable is decremented by 1 with timer = timer - 1.
  3. Print the end message:

    • Once the timer reaches 0, the loop ends, and it prints "The time is over!".
  4. Call the RunTimer function: Finally, the RunTimer function is executed, starting the countdown.

Summary:

This code creates a simple countdown timer starting from 20 seconds, decrementing every second, and prints "The time is over!" when the countdown reaches 0.
