Day/Night Ambience Scaling

[HP5C]

1. What i’m trying to achieve
   I’m currently making a day/night system for one of my projects and after finishing tempature scaling and whatnot i’m moving onto making the ambience scale with ClockTime alot like this

2. What is the issue?
   I don’t know fully how to pull this off and previous attempts have failed

	print(game.Lighting.Ambient.R .. "Normal/UnMath'd")
	print(game.Lighting.Ambient.R * game.Lighting.ClockTime/4 .. "Math'd")
	
	game.Lighting.Ambient = Color3.fromRGB(game.Lighting.Ambient.R * game.Lighting.ClockTime/4,game.Lighting.Ambient.G * game.Lighting.ClockTime/4,game.Lighting.Ambient.B * game.Lighting.ClockTime/4)

3. What solutions have you tried so far?

I’ve tried looking at posts on the devforum and most wouldn’t really fit with the script like this one.

A Guide to a Better Looking and More Realistic Day/Night Cycle

Preface Of the various tools available to make a game look better, lighting is amongst the most powerful. Im not going to kid myself and say that Roblox’s lighting engine is amazing, but its vastly improved over what we had even a few years ago to the point where you can make things that look “good”, and not just “good for a roblox game”. While many games will spend the time making there lighting look good using all the features available, it seems that as soon as the game incorporates any fo…

I used up my whole brain to come up with a solution for your problem. I’m sure there are different ways of doing this, but I came up with this formula. Hope it helps!

local clockTime = game.Lighting.ClockTime

local color3valueR = 129-(math.abs(clockTime-12)/12*129)
local color3valueG = 129-(math.abs(clockTime-12)/12*129)
local color3valueB = 40-(math.abs(clockTime-12)/12*40)

game.Lighting.Ambient = Color3.fromRGB(color3valueR, color3valueG, color3valueB)
