ServerScript:

local OClock = "AM"
local TimeBetweenMinutes = 30
local TimeNow = StartingTime

local ChangeUITimer = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ChangeUITimer

function Hour()
	if TimeNow == 13 and OClock == "AM" then
		OClock = "PM"
		TimeNow = 1
	elseif TimeNow == 13 and OClock == "PM" then
		OClock = "AM"
		TimeNow = 8
	end
	ChangeUITimer:FireAllClients(TimeNow, OClock)
	TimeNow = TimeNow + 1
end

while true do
	Hour()
	wait(2)
end

Local Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ChangeUITimer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, TimeNow, Oclock)
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("GameTime").Text = TimeNow .. ":00" .. Oclock
end)

Seems like you meant OClock, not Oclock.

3

no thats how its spelled in the remote event. It doesnt need to be like what the sent value is called.

4

You should probably edit your post to include the rest of your script, then.

5

that is all of the scripts with the clock-

There you go. Your OnClientEvent should not have the player parameter, just the TimeNow and Oclock.

It’s because you entered a player parameter – for OnClientEvent it doesn’t pass the player since FireClient/FireAllClients will already call to X player (in fact, if you print the player variable you’ll notice it’s one of the values that was sent). Simply remove that parameter and it should work as intended :+1:
