Changing a GUI's color. Then back etc

[Delta01]

Hi,

I'm making a script using a countdown, when the countdown gets to 0 I get the script to change all text associated with that countdown to red. Then, the user has to manually restart the countdown. I can't find a way to make the timer to change back to black, from red. I know the hex code etc etc.

When I try to make it black again, the text goes black but it flickers a lot. So, can somebody please edit this portion of my code so that it wont flicker when it goes back to black.

I only see code for red, no black. So you are not showing the code relevant to flickering when it goes to black. Without seeing the code, though, it is most likely you are changing it over-and-over in a loop. Make sure your logic changes it once and leaves it alone.
