I am making a daily quest system, and it is very buggy.
The logic i got is from: How to make a Daily Reward System? | Tutorial
But what is the way i can make a timer from that?
local numTime = player.numTime
nextRefresh = (numTime.Value - os.time()) + (246060)
and this creates negative numbers
and i need it to be:
(never worked with os.clock() before, any suggestions?)
os.time() returns how many seconds have passed since the Unix epoch (1 January 1970, 00:00:00)
knowing this, you’ll have to convert it into hours, minutes, and seconds for your timer: (assuming your numTime variable is in unix epoch time)
-- Rearrange this because in most cases, the os time will be greater than your variable
local nextRefresh = os.time() - numTime.Value
-- Convert to hours
nextRefresh / 3600
-- Convert to minutes
nextRefresh / 60
-- Convert to seconds
nextRefresh
If you need anything else, don’t be afraid to ask! :]
it started looking like that and if i rearrange it will negative
i am trying to create a timer that will count 24 hours to the next day and the first os.time() start from the value then player joined and got daily quests
i got a little bit closer
but it still not the thing i really wanted to do
local numTime = player.numTime
nextRefresh = os.clock() - numTime.Value nextRefresh = nextRefresh + (24*60*60)
How is the numTime value being set? It may not be in UTC time.
well, according to the tutorial you linked, here is what the code they have for this: (modified)
if tonumber(nextRefresh) < os.time() - 86400 then -- (86400 seconds = 24 hours)
-- Your code here
end
have you tried using this?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local foundData = DailyRewardDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
local numTime = Instance.new("NumberValue",player)
numTime.Name = "numTime"
if foundData then
if tonumber(foundData) < os.time() - 86400 then
local cur = os.time()
DailyRewardDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,cur)
module.CreateQuests(player)
numTime.Value = cur
end
else
local cur = os.time()
module.CreateQuests(player)
DailyRewardDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,cur)
numTime.Value = cur
end
end)
Try replacing all uses of os.time() to workspace:GetServerTimeNow()?
looks like it worked, but i’m worrying about this, will this work?
also what is the diffrence between getservertimenow and os time
after rejoining it turns into this
According to the docs, GetServerTimeNow returns the epoch time on the server with microsecond precision. and with your problem of the -478098 your saved variable may not be using this new Workspace:GetServerTimeNow variable.
Finally, just fixed that. The problem was that is was setting value of numTime only the time you join and you have no data or you was online last time more than 24 hours, i fixed by adding else
