not all players in roblox have the same time and i dont only want GMT+8 i want every player’s time to be correct

Example:
if their time is GMT+7 and it shows GMT+8 then it’d be 7 pm for their time in their phone or pc but in the game it is 8 pm

if 11:59 am is done then 12:00 pm is pm its basically a 12 hour time not 24 hour time

How’s this?

local function formatTime(use12Hour, t )
	local t = t or tick()
	
	local hours = math.floor(t / 3600) % 24
	local mins = math.floor(t / 60) % 60
	local secs = t % 60
	
	local isPm = hours > 12
	local amOrPm = isPm and "pm" or "am"
	
	--convert to 12 hour time if we want to use 12 hour time instead of 24: 
	if use12Hour then
		hours = isPm and hours - 12 or hours
		return string.format("%d:%02d:%02d"..amOrPm, hours, mins, secs)
	else
		return string.format("%d:%02d:%02d ", hours, mins, secs)
	end
end

print(formatTime(true))
