Bug with os.time

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

When I try to use os.time, it returns as “function:” An example I had was " function: 0x135c30b4aeeb399f" Is there anything I can do?

I can not find previous problems like this.

After I found the bug while I was scripting, I made a plain script like this to see if it would keep doing it on a baseplate.

while true do
	print(os.time)
	print(tick)
	wait(5)
end

Is there anything I can do?

Try os.time() with the parentheses and see if that works. os.time is a function, so you need to include the parentheses.

os.time and tick are functions that return values. What you’re currently doing is grabbing a reference to these functions and printing them which is giving back the memory address. You actually need to call them to get back the expected results. See the above response.
