I didn't wanna really make a CHRISTMAS counter but I used this method to make a count down for Roblox's 15th anniversary XD
Wow, what a cool project!
Thank you for this tutorial! It was really clear and I understood exactly why I was placing each block!
Awesome! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Some updates on this video!
1. There's a glitch where if the date matches but it's not December it will say -1 Days. You can fix this by changing 25 to 24 in 25>. Thanks to scratcher Waffelchen and @timsecfer
2. As @frostberry pointed out, there's an easier way to write the 24 + (30 - current date) part. You can look at their comment if you want to see how
(I'm also unsure if I did the handles correctly. Lmk if I did it wrong)
thanks you very much
You're welcome!
What about weeks?
It works! I am posting it and I am putting you in the credits! You deserve subs!
THANK YOU! This really helped me! I'll make sure that I see your progect!
Gr8 Video Dude
Thanks!
thank you so much for this!
Yw!
Thank youu 🙏🏾 this tutorial really helped me
You’re welcome!
Almost Great But there will be a bug that says -1 Days If the date matches but not the month
Ty for letting me know! I mentioned this in the Countdown to Anything tutorial but I forgot to put a notice here, so thanks for the reminder :)
Nice! I made something like this
This is a good vid but instead of doing that huge line of code in the section "Fixing bugs" You can just go to operator and put a "abs of" block and attach your 24 - current date code. Repeat for all and it save a lot of time.
Abs means absolute value so that means it gets the positive versions of your number. -1 would become 1, -2 would become 2, and so on. Negatives become positives and positives stay positives. Just letting you know!
Oh...that would have worked too. Thanks! Sorry, I usually don't see the easiest route when I program.
@@STEMMC No prob. I like seeing game devs like me who try their best! Just wanted to help you out.
Great! But I changed it to 25 but now it says -5 days, HELP!!
Uh oh! If I may ask, what did you change to 25?
It was really good but for some reason the orange color box did not come on my screen
Hmm...if you go to "Variables," check to see if all the variables have the check marks next to them. If they don't, then select them. Does that help?
can you do a normal countdown?
Sorry for responding so late! If you are talking about adjusting the countdown date, it is possible, but the code will have to be adjusted. If you change the month, then the current code will display a negative value after that month has happened. I'll hopefully see what I can do to adjust the code.
@@STEMMC Then, how do you fix that?
it didnt work for me. it still said -1 day
still amazing tutorial 10/10
Sorry it didn't work, did you check the code against the project? If it matches, what day is it when you see -1 days?
Mine its not work i checked 3 times its just 22 moths 0 days 0hours 0minutes 0seconds
Did you check that the code matches what is in the video? You might want to start at 4:45 and check your code from there.
I think a possible problem is that the blocks that define days, hours, minutes, and seconds are not located where is should be, like if it was outside the forever loop or inside an if block. Can you check that?
@@STEMMC thanks
My seconds are negative-
Does the seconds variable show set Seconds to (59 - (current second)), like at 5:07? Hopefully this helps!
You messed up the whole thing
How so?
It’s a 1s1s!!!!
Yep! It's amazing what 1s1s's can do.
@@STEMMC I also made a 1s1s New year’s Countdown
someone decode his backdrop
There is a message there 😉
This didn't work. it was only counting down the months and it did that wrong. Thumbs Down for me.
Oh no! do you know what isn't working with it? (like is it displaying the wrong number of months, days, etc?) hopefully we can figure out why the code isn't working. :)
