If you wanted like a daily chest or similar one, you can store a tick in a datastore when player claims the chest & when player rejoins that time you just check if 24 hours have passed since the stored tick, and depending on that you could spawn the chest.

I can’t really give you the code, as Dev forum isn’t for spoon feeding but you could try to do it yourself or look at previous threads, Or look at these API References / Dev forum threads for information on tick & datastores :slight_smile:

is will work with 25 mins or one hour?

Surely it will, you just store the time in the datastore & later you just check if 60 minutes have passed since that time.

Actually instead of tick, you could use os.time, I personally use os.time. Ima write a quick example to show you how you could do it.

When player claims:

local claimTime = os.time() --You get the current time and store it.
chestClaimDatastore:UpdateAsync(claimTime)

When player wants to reclaim / Rejoins

local lastClaimTime = chestClaimDatastore:GetAsync() or os.time()

local currentTime = os.time()
if currentTime - lastClaimTime >= 3600 then --3600 is same as 1 hour but in seconds
    --This is where you spawn the chest
end

That was meant to be an example, anyways can you post your full script here?

#7

inside server script service:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local chestClaimDatastore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("chestClaimDatastore")

game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Chest").ChestPad.Touched:Connect(function(hit, player)
	local claimTime = os.time() --You get the current time and store it.
	chestClaimDatastore:UpdateAsync(player, claimTime)
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player, hit)
	local lastClaimTime = chestClaimDatastore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or os.time()

	local currentTime = os.time()
	if currentTime - lastClaimTime >= 3600 then --3600 is same as 1 hour but in seconds
		if game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Chest") then
			game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Chest").Parent = game.Workspace
		elseif not game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Chest") then
			print("Didnt Claimed Chest.")
		end
	end
end)

inside the chest pad:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent = game.ServerStorage
	end
end)

Sorry I was pretty busy with some work, so there are a few problems in your script, which I will fix & then explain you what each line is doing.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local chestClaimDatastore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("chestClaimDatastore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local lastClaimTime = chestClaimDatastore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or os.time()

	local currentTime = os.time()
	if currentTime - lastClaimTime >= 3600 then --3600 is same as 1 hour but in seconds
		if game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Chest") then
            local newChest = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("Chest"):Clone() --You clone the chest & parent it to the Workspace, you can do position etc yourself too
            newChest.Parent = game.Workspace
             
            local ChestPadConnection
            ChestPadConnection = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Chest").ChestPad.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
               local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) --You will need to get the player like this, because player isn't passed as an arguement

               if not player then return end --Break the thread if player isn't found with the hit.
               ChestPadConnection:Disconnect() --If the hit is a player, then we disconnect the pad .Touched event & also destroy the chest
               newChest:Destroy()
               
               --Updating the next claim time, to 1 hour later
               local nextClaimAt = os.time() + 3600
               chestClaimDatastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, nextClaimAt)

               --In Here you can do stuff like giving rewards
               --example: player.leaderstats.cash.Value += 1000
            end)
		end
	end
end)

You might also need a client sided loop to check if 1 hour has been past, because if the player stats in game for more than an hour that code won’t work because it works only on PlayerAdded events. Also if you do make a loop, make sure you have server sided checks that actually verify if 1 hour has been past since last claim.

Also you don’t need the script inside of the chest pad actually, this code will do everything, you just need to understand what it does with the comments I left & then continue to modify it according to your needs

Hope this helps you :slight_smile:
