How to get Client time (hours:minutes:seconds)

[InvalidCreativity (Invalid)]

Alright so as the title say i would like the get the client’s time in hms format (hours:minute:seconds)
Untill now i was using this code :

local function getTime(sec)
	return ("%.2d:%.2d:%.2d"):format(sec/3600%24, sec/60%60, sec%60)
end
print(getTime(tick()))
-- would return : xx:xx:xx  | eq : 16:53:37

but it doesn’t get the actual Client’s time (for me it’s 1 hour late - fixed eq would be : 17:53:37 and no i’m not gonna as +1 dont answer that pls it might be different for others)
Help ! also maybe i’ve misunderstood something if so then please explain me
btw important detail i want to get it on the server but it deosn’t matter much after all cuz we can always get it from clien side and transfer it to server so nvm not so important

first off tick() is deprecated

you can try using os.clock() or os.time() i dont remember which one gets the os’s time.

Well i didn’t knew tick() was deprecated but it does not fix my issue tho i obtained
Times that are still wrong… even after trying os.clock() and os.time() perhaps my code is wrong to begin with

Alright ! thanks you for trying imma do some more researches see if i can find anyone else that have been meeting this issue

os.time or os.date run on a LocalScript will give you local time. Also, tick is not deprecated.

Alternatively, you can use the DateTime library.

local localTime = DateTime.now():ToLocalTime()

local hour = localTime.Hour
local minutes = localTime.Minute
local seconds = localTime.Second

print(`Current time: {hour}:{minutes}:{seconds}`)

DateTime.now works too thanks i was a little confused at first on how we could use DateTime that’s why i didn’t tried it yet anyways thanks!
