How do I get the range or time?

#1

I am trying to get this script to work but it wont.
When I manually change the time it works, but when I have a time changing script it just doesn’t.
How do I add a time range to this.

lighting.Changed:Connect(function(prop)
    if prop == 'ClockTime' then
        local currentTime = clockAnnouncements[lighting.ClockTime]
            if currentTime then
            local title = currentTime.Title
            local desc = currentTime.Description
            local notificationUI = script.at_lst12778.Notifications:Clone()
            notificationUI.notif.descw.Text = desc
            notificationUI.notif.titlew.Text = title
            notificationUI.Name = player.Name..' \'s Notifications'
            notificationUI.Parent = playerGui
            wait(5)
            notificationUI:Destroy()
        end
    end
end)

Please attach your time changing script to this, as the problem can not be fully solved without the full problem.

Additionally, you should not be setting ClockTime (You might be, I do not have that script). It would be easier in your case to use :SetMinutesAfterMidnight and :GetMinutesAfterMidnight. For a working example, see the post I solved below:

#3

Time changing script;

local dayLength = 12

local cycleTime = dayLength*20
local minutesInADay = 24*20

local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

local startTime = tick() - (lighting:getMinutesAfterMidnight() / minutesInADay)*cycleTime
local endTime = startTime + cycleTime

local timeRatio = minutesInADay / cycleTime

if dayLength == 0 then
	dayLength = 1
end

repeat
	local currentTime = tick()
	
	if currentTime > endTime then
		startTime = endTime
		endTime = startTime + cycleTime
	end
	
	lighting:setMinutesAfterMidnight((currentTime - startTime)*timeRatio)
	wait(1/15)
until false

Why is that so complicated? You could just do something like this: (Try it)

This also prevents overflow, as set takes that into account. You can also get the time from any other script.

local minPerSec = 1; --How many minutes pass every real life second
--Set the above to 1/60 for real time
local lighting = game:GetService('Lighting')
local lastTick = tick()
while true do
   local cur = lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight()
   cur = cur + (minPerSec*(tick()-lastTick))
   lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(cur)
   lastTick = tick()
   wait()
end
