I took up an interest in 3dgs and decided to script. its hard...and arduous. but im ready to learn . i joined Initiate games because the owner is my friend and classmate. I was trying to make a simple counter go from 1 to 17 then to 0 and exit the engine. But... it only goes up to 99 and stops...and does nothing.

here is the code i used

function count_down
{

while(cool_var == 10);
{
count += 1;
wait(1);
}
if(count == 17);
{
count -= 1;
wait(1);
}
if(count == 0);
{
exit;
}
}
}
