Changing TextLabel depending on client time

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi,

In my game, I’d like a time label to update depending on the clients current time (if it’s 7:30 am, then for it to display 7:30 am.) is there a api to get the clients timezone? What should I do here?

Thanks

yes it is, use os

you can look in the DevHub here:

I’m confused. I know I can’t directly ask for a script, so what should I use to get the clients time?

#4

use os.date or os.time if I am right

#5

expanding on this, I would personally do

os.date("!*t")

to get a local time information

this would output as a table, try printing it out

There are different methods to do this, I don’t know if this works but it did for me.

while true do
    local dateTime = DateTime.now()
    local formattedTime = dateTime:FormatLocalTime('hh:mm a', 'en-us')

    print(formattedTime)
    wait(60)
end

worked perfectly, thanks
