How do you make server time?

From this code below, the seconds stays the same and never goes back to 0.

How can we fix this?

it’s kind of hard to copy and paste text from a picture
can you add a code block to your post?

#3 
function Func_GetCurrentTime(str)
	local tim = workspace.DistributedGameTime
	--Example: 50.385758823
	
	local secs = math.floor(tim) --50 secs
	local mins = math.floor(secs/60) --50/60 secs
	local hours = math.floor(mins/60) --0/60 secs
	local days = math.floor(hours/24) --0/24 secs
	
	if str == false then
		return secs,mins,hours,days
	else
		return days..":"..hours..":"..mins..":"..secs
	end
	
end

Is this running in a LocalScript? That may be why it doesn’t work.

Also, I know I shouldn’t be judging other people’s coding style but, why are you using “workspace” instead of “game.Workspace”?

The problem is on line 5
local secs = math.flooor(tim)

You are directly setting the value of tim to secs. So, if tim is, for example, 100 seconds, secs would be set to 100

You should use the modulo operator for the secs variable. It returns the remainder when two numbers are divided:

local secs = math.floor(tim) % 60
local mins = math.floor(tim / 60)
-- so on

So when tim is 100, secs would be set to 40 (100 divided by 60 = 1 remainder 40)

I did local Mins = math.floor(Time/60), the problem I’m running into is when the minutes get above 60 it will add an hour onto the clock but the minutes wont go back down to 0, so I’ll have a weird clock where it’ll be like 01:72:49 or something, with 72 being the minutes.
