  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I’d like to have a GUI in the center of the screen that displays a certain timezone (-7 MST) for all of the players in the current server

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve looked around on the internet and so far I’ve found nothing but how to make realistic lighting with timezones.

If you can help, it would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance :blush:

os.time() then add the hours and then run os.date(newTime) to get a table of the date.

local now = os.time() - 25200 -- UTC-7
local timeTable = os.date("!*t", now)
print(timeTable) -- Check console for the table variables.

Hope that helps you!

What timezone are you looking for? I’ll try and write you a quick script using that website.

Rather not use HttpService for getting the time, as you can exhaust the quota of HTTP requests quickly.
