You can use os.date() or DateTime.

• Example with DateTime (UTC):

local utcMonth = DateTime.now():FormatUniversalTime("M", "en-us")
print(utcMonth) --> 12 (string!)

if i use:

local utcMonth = DateTime.now():FormatUniversalTime("M", "en-us")
if utcMonth > 11 then
	-- event goes here
end

it will work?

Cant you just check if it is the month “12” and not if its greater than 11?

um, i didnt thinked about that.

but if i use

local utcMonth = DateTime.now():FormatUniversalTime("M", "en-us")
if utcMonth == 12 then
	-- event goes here
end

i think it will work

anyway, thanks @fellow_meerkat and @butterpilot123

That is not going to work because token M returns a number representation and (I should have mentioned) in form of a string.

local utcMonth = DateTime.now():FormatUniversalTime("M", "en-us")
print(tonumber(utcMonth) == 12) --> true

local utcMonth = DateTime.now():FormatUniversalTime("MMMM", "en-us")
print(utcMonth == "December") --> true

Good luck!

Edit.

@serverxside no problem.

Just another reminder, utcMonth isn’t equal to 12, but tonumber(utcMonth) == 12 or utcMonth == tostring(12) or utcMonth == "12".
