I am trying to do when i run the game it wait 3s before it starts in Unity. I put all gameobjetc in a empty object with code:

[SerializeField]
private float seconds = 3f;
private void Start()
{
    StartCoroutine(Wait());
}
private IEnumerator Wait()
{
    Time.timeScale = 0f;
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
    Time.timeScale = 1f;
}

And when I start the game its just frozen nothing is counting down.

Because WaitForSeconds corresponds to the time in the game and follows Time.scale, So when you set Time.Scale to 0, no time passes. Use WaitForSecondsRealtime to resolve this issue, This method works independently of Time.Scale, and if you use Slow-Motion or Freeze effects in your game, consider this one:

yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(seconds);

You should be able to solve your issue by removing the Time.timeScale = 0f; code. Let me explain why.

If you decrease the timescale to say 0.5, you are increasing your time by two. So your 3 / 0.5 = 6 seconds. When you are setting your timescale to 0 you are essentially pausing your app because you are making your app wait infinitely.

So if you remove the timeScales like this it should work fine:

private IEnumerator Wait()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
}
