Changing material at a certain time for things in a folder

#1

Goal: When the time is between 20:00 and 5:00 (10 PM and 5 AM), the material on my light block will be neon and the color will be changed to white.

  • When I take away the if statement in my code, it works normally.
  • Also, I’m not very good at scripting, and I couldn’t really find anything online for this.

My code:

  • I know I made an error 'cause it’s underlined, but I’m not quite sure how I should change it to produce the outcome I want.

My setup:

Thank you! :smiley:

Ok, so. The second line game.Workspace:GetChildren() does not need to be there. And the if statement is formatted incorrectly, try this:

if game:GetService("Ligting").TimeOfDay < 5:00:00 and game:GetService("Lighting").TimeOfDay > 20:00:00 then

This should work

Try this.

local lighting = game:GetService('Lighting')

local lights = workspace.LightsFolder:GetChildren()

if (light.ClockTime < 5) and (light.ClockTime > 20) then
  for _, light in (lights) do
    light.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
    light.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("White")
  end
end

Thank you! But, it still appears with an error; any idea? :/D

#5

you could do

if game:GetService("Lighting").TimeOfDay < math.floor(5) and game:GetService("Lighting").TimeOfDay > math.floor(20) then

Only the ‘equal to’ and ‘not equal to’ comparison operators are valid for string operands.
