Hello, I’m Tem and i’m bringing up to you a very easy day-cycle script.
with this script we can customize how fast the day would pass separately from how long the night would pass.
So the first thing you want to do is to get everything you need, in this case, Lighting service:
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting") -- getting the lighting service
local Clock = lighting.ClockTime -- getting the clock time from lighting service
OK. Now that you’ve done that you need to set two variables for how fast the time would pass if it’s day and how fast it would pass if it’s night
local DayilightSpeed = 0.2 --this is the speed (time) that takes for the day to pass
--(you can change however you wish(smaller numbers means less daylight duration))
local NightlightSpeed = 0.2 --this is the speed (time) that takes for the night to pass
--(same thing applies here too)
I set them equally, but if you want them to be different feel free to change that.
Now you need to do the main loop
while true do --this is the main loop, it will run constantly
Clock = lighting.ClockTime -- this updates the time that's stored in the variable
end
In this case the Clock variable needs to be updated each time the loop runs. Alternatively you can use lighting.Clocktime every time the variable Clock appears.
Now we can add the part of the script that changes the time.
while true do
Clock = lighting.ClockTime
if Clock > 6 and Clock < 20.02 then --checks if the Clocktime is greater than 6 and less than 20.02
--if so then it means that it's day outside
wait(DayilightSpeed) -- here we wait the amount of time(in seconds) as set in the variable
lighting.ClockTime = Clock + 0.001 -- here we change the time
elseif Clock >= 20.02 or Clock <=6 then -- checks if the Clocktime is greater than 6
--if so then it means that it's night outside
wait(NightlightSpeed)-- here we wait the amount of time(in seconds) as set in the variable
lighting.ClockTime = Clock + 0.001 -- here we change the time
end
end
once again if you want the day pass differently from night then you can change these variables from here:
lighting.ClockTime = Clock + 0.001
for example if i want the day to pass faster than the night i can write the script like this:
while true do
Clock = lighting.ClockTime
if Clock > 6 and Clock < 20.02 then
wait(DayilightSpeed)
lighting.ClockTime = Clock + 0.1
elseif Clock >= 20.02 or Clock <=6 then
wait(NightlightSpeed)
lighting.ClockTime = Clock + 0.001
end
end
After completing these steps your script should look something like this:
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local Clock = lighting.ClockTime
local DayilightSpeed = 0.2
local NightlightSpeed = 0.2
while true do
Clock = lighting.ClockTime
if Clock > 6 and Clock < 20.02 then
wait(DayilightSpeed)
lighting.ClockTime = Clock + 0.001
elseif Clock >= 20.02 or Clock <=6 then
wait(NightlightSpeed)
lighting.ClockTime = Clock + 0.001
end
end
That’s it. It’s very simple and i bet many of you already knew how to do this. So hopefully it helped.
