Day Maps and Night Maps

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Guys, I am making a game in which every round there is a random map, and I want to make some maps Night and others Day, i don’t know how.

Right now, I am using a script that makes the whole game be day and after some seconds it becomes night, and then day again etc

  • Here is the script:

local lighting = game:GetService(“Lighting”)

local minutes = 7 * 60

while wait() do
lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(minutes)
minutes = minutes +1
end

I need Dark Forest to be night and Desert Ruins to be day, can someone help?

You can simply set the TimeOfDay in Lighting when said map spawns.

Make sure to do this server sided so it replicates for all players.

What do you mean? I don’t know how to do that

#4 
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
lighting.TimeOfDay = "1:00:00"

if you’re just setting it to “1” you don’t actually need the “:” or the 0’s, but you do if you want to set the minutes and seconds as well.

You can check the Lighting service to see how the property “TimeOfDay” is formatted if that helps.

Thank you, it worked!
I made a script with different times for each map and put inside the maps, and deleted the DayNightCycle script i was using

Now my game will make more sense XD
