Have you looked at the Tutorials on the roblox.developer.com site?
You are basically asking someone to make a pretty detailed script for you, which isn’t what this forum is for.

I don’t really think you should be trying to make a rake game at 3 weeks, because it has advanced stuff like pathfinding, and lots of stuff, but in the end everybody learns at a different pace, but that’s just my opinion, maybe try to work on some simpler stuff?

Im not asking for a detailed script, just for help to make a day night script that makes the rake spawn when its night and disappear when its day, im also kinda new to the forum too so i will try improving that

#9

Oh ok, but about the rake pathfinding theres a model that has the rake already and almost everybody uses it so i kinda just need to make a day night script and yeah it will be a completed base for the game, and also i cant come up with any game ideas besides the rake cuz i really want to do a rake game and yeah

Well then you wont be learning anything, when you’re first starting scripting and making small projects, your goal should be to learn as you make so you’re able to see results and keep yourself motivated, rather then starting big and huge, then your gonna overwork yourself and absolutely kill your motivation, and that’s coming from experience.

#11

ohhh thats kinda true, i will try focusing on smaller projects bc yeah when i do and find a lot of error i get desmotivated, thank ya for the tip :slightly_smiling_face:

So searching developer.roblox.com day night cycle led me to these:
Day/Night Cycle: Time of Day - YouTube
https://developer.roblox.com day night cycle - Google Search

Oh ok ima try seeing these also and see if i can learn of it, ima also follow Swift’s tip so that i can actually progress on scripting

Pt 1: Changing Lighting FX

  1. Delete old lighting FX
  2. Tween the lighting
  3. have folders for each night effects/theme
  4. for i, v in ipairs clone them into lighting. (Loop and clone all the effects.)

Pt 2: Destroying the Rake

  1. Have a normal Rake monster in serverstorage/replicatedstorage or anywhere but workspace.
  2. Disable the rake scripts
  3. Clone the rake and enable the scripts and delete the clone when needed.

Ohhhh but, cant i use tweening to slowly modify lighting.ClockTime and changing the rake’s parent to workspace when day and serverstorage when night? i think that would make it more optimized idk if im wrong

Yeah only tween ClockTime but i’m not sure how ur rake AI works so it might break it.
