Change time of day from textbox

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

ServerSript:

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Text)
	game.Lighting.ClockTime = Text
end)

Local Script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local Text = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
	script.RemoteEvent:FireServer(Text)
end)

For some reason it only works once and it just sets it to 0

#2

I think that the first parameter passed to the function in OnServerEvent is the player that calls it

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Text)
	game.Lighting.ClockTime = Text
end)

Here is the documentation

Use a RemoteFunction for this:

function CheckAndChange(player: Player,  AppliedText)
	
	if type(tonumber(AppliedText)) == "number" then
		game.Lighting.ClockTime = AppliedText
	else
		warn("Text Must be a Number!")
		return
	end

end

RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = CheckAndChange

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local Text = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text
	RemoteFunction:InvokeServer(Text)
end)

I think that’s really complicated and there’s a much easier way to do this, only with one remote event:
LocalScript(TextLabel is your timer and remoteevent is a remoteevent inside ReplicatedStorage:)

local remoteevent = game.ReplicatedStorage.TimerEvent
remoteevent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(min,sec)
if sec < 10 then
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = min..":0"..sec
else
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = min..":"..sec
end
if min == 0 and sec == 1 then
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "Time's up!"
wait(math.huge)
end
end)

Script in ServerScriptService

local remoteevent = game.ReplicatedStorage.TimerEvent
local b = false
local min = 20
local sec = 59
while b = false do
sec = sec - 1
if sec <= 0 then
min = min - 1
sec = 59
end
if sec == 1 and min == 0 then
remoteevent:FireAllClients(min, sec)
wait(math.huge)
else
remoteevent:FireAllClients(min,sec)
task.wait(1)
end
end

Also this is just something I wrote on my phone so i give no guarentee that this actualky works. If there is any errors please feel free to tell me!

#5

Its a long script I know but its just basic code and it shouldn’t be that hard to locate errors.

#6

this has 1 error

change:

while b = false do

to:

while b == false do
#7

Not really, I dont think its complicated, i just dont think you are understanding the code:

function CheckAndChange(player: Player,  AppliedText)
	
	if type(tonumber(AppliedText)) == "number" then -- Checks if the given text is a number and can be converted to one
		game.Lighting.ClockTime = AppliedText -- if so, it Applies it
	else -- if isnt a number and cant be converted
		warn("Text Must be a Number!")
		return -- Ends function
	end

end

type isn’t as complicated as you think:

type

just simply returns what it is.

print(type(10)) -- number
print(type(true)) -- boolean
print(type("Hello!")) -- string
print(type({"Hi"})) -- table

if type(100) == "number" then -- checks if 100 is a number
print("Yes")
end

so is tonumber and tostring

local StringNumber = "1"
local NewNumber = tonumber(StringNumber)
print(type(NewNumber)) -- Should return as a number
print(NewNumber)

local Number = 7384109
local NewString = tostring(Number)
print(type(NewString)) -- Should return as a string
print(NewString)

Thats not what they are trying to do, They aren’t trying to create a Timer, but simply change the time via TextBox, if you read the Topic, you would know

#8

Just add function(Player, Text) and it should work

Well then you can help him yourself, and yes, I never used “type” before. And yes, I did not understand the post correctly. So, goodbye.
