put this inside your TextLabel

game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = game.Lighting.ClockTime
end)
#3

How would I format the time so it shows the hour and the minutes only?

#4

you can change ClockTime to TimeOfTheDay if you want it has hours,minutes,secs

#5

I only want it to show hours and minutes not seconds

#6 
game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("TimeOfDay"):Connect(function()
local HoursNMinutes = string.sub(game.Lighting.TimeOfTheDay,1,5)
script.Parent.Text = HoursNMinutes
end)

I think u made a small mistake.

game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
	local HoursNMinutes = string.sub(game.Lighting.ClockTime,1,2)
	script.Parent.Text = HoursNMinutes
end)

yeah i meant to change it to TimeOfDay also you also made a mistake
local HoursNMinutes = string.sub(game.Lighting.ClockTime,1,2)
you have to put TimeOfDay instead of ClockTime

As this event already exists and is fired by the engine you may as well listen for it as opposed to creating your own event listeners via GetPropertyChangedSignal.
