How do I disable clouds at night?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to disable clouds at night, since when it’s night, the clouds stay white, which looks pretty ugly.

  1. What is the issue? I am not experienced in coding and therefore do not know how to make or edit a script to make this feature.

  2. What solutions have you tried so far? I tried editing this script but I could not get it to work.

That script 
local timetoturnon = 7 * 60 --multiply the hour to minute
local timetoturnon = 23*60 --same

game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
     if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > timetoturnoff and game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() < timetoturnon then
         --so If time is currently after 7 am and before 23 o'clock the light will be off
         for _, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parkinglotlightparts:GetChildren()) do
              v.LightPart.SpotLight.Enabled = false
         end
     else
             for _, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parkinglotlightparts:GetChildren()) do
                    v.LightPart.SpotLight.Enabled = false
             end
     end
end)

Thanks in advance!

lets assume you know the basics; if you’re using the terrain clouds it’d be better just to tween down their density and cover after it hits a certain time.

that’s the easiest way I can think of.

#5

The variables are the same. Your scrip states it needs timetoturnoff.

#6

Simple. Delete the clouds once the sky is dark enough

#7

You should not delete and reclone it, That’s bad for perfomance, And that script of mine was old

local timetoturnon = 7 * 60 --multiply the hour to minute
timetoturnon = 23*60 --same

game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
     if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > timetoturnoff and    game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() < timetoturnon then
         --so If time is currently after 7 am and before 23 o'clock the light will be off
         game.workspace.Terrain.Clouds.Enabled = false
     else
              game.workspace.Terrain.Clouds.Enabled = true
     end
end)

Should be in a local script for better performance,It shouldn’t be a problem if an exploiter disables it

here is a demo project
SkyTransition.rbxl (35.3 KB)

and this is the code in the project

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(10, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local clouds = workspace:WaitForChild("Terrain"):WaitForChild("Clouds")
local tween1 = tweenService:Create(clouds, tweenInfo, {["Cover"] = 0.0})
local tween2 = tweenService:Create(clouds, tweenInfo, {["Cover"] = 0.6})
local enabled = true

game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
	if game.Lighting.ClockTime > 6 and game.Lighting.ClockTime < 18 then
		if enabled == true then return end
		enabled = true
		tween2:Play()
	else
		if enabled == false then return end
		enabled = false
		tween1:Play()
	end
end)

another option is to tween the clouds color to make them darker at night

and that will look like this

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local clouds = workspace:WaitForChild("Terrain"):WaitForChild("Clouds")
local tween1 = tweenService:Create(clouds, tweenInfo, {["Color"] = Color3.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)})
local tween2 = tweenService:Create(clouds, tweenInfo, {["Color"] = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)})
local enabled = true

game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
	if game.Lighting.ClockTime > 6 and game.Lighting.ClockTime < 18 then
		if enabled == true then return end
		enabled = true
		tween2:Play()
	else
		if enabled == false then return end
		enabled = false
		tween1:Play()
	end
end)
