I dont understand what i did wrong
local EventTime = 1682284560
local function startEvent()
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.LightningForce:FireClient(player)
end
end
while true do
local CurrentTime = os.time()
if CurrentTime == EventTime then
startEvent()
end
wait()
end
I’m not sure what is the problem here
You would want to check if the currentTime is greater than or equal to the live event time. This is done using the >= operator. The event you are checking for is 5 hours in the past, so it is not starting.
if CurrentTime >= EventTime then
startEvent()
end
Ok, so you want it to check if it’s at an exact second for it to fire. I would suggest using math.floor(os.time()) to check if it’s in the exact second, because this value updates every heartbeat and in decimal numbers and almost impossible for it to be an integer so you must convert it to one. And also break the while loop when the event fires
os.time() will never return a decimal number, only an integer. However tick() will be in milliseconds and more exact
The timestamp in your code happened 5 hours ago (In UTC timezone)
For debugging, you can set EventTime to the current time + 10 seconds
local EventTime = os.time() + 10
local function startEvent()
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
print("fire")
end
end
while task.wait() do
local CurrentTime = os.time()
if CurrentTime >= EventTime then
print("start event")
startEvent()
break
end
end
i just realized the website i sent is giving me incorrect time stamp i found another website rn and it works but thats wierd bc a yter like alvinblox used that website
Alternatively, you could just use the studio command bar to print the current timestamp
print(os.time())
