Im making a windows XP game and im wondering how would you make it so a button can change another text label Multiple times my code is this:

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Date.Text = “Year: 2000/1/1”
end)

you could just do: – or loop through the table, because I didn’t fully understand your request

local RandomText = {"Test", "Bacon", "LOL"}

while wait() do
    script.Parent.Text = RandomText[math.random(#RandomText)]
end

so you click once and it goes like Year: 2000/1/1 and you click again then Year: 2000/1/2 and so on

Well that really depends on the month and how many days it contains. so you would need to use a table.

local Years = {2000 = {[1] = 31}}} -- [1] is the month and 31 is the amount of days in that month

is this so they can click and it changes it

No I only wrote an example of how it would look like, the table. But you might be able to use os.clock or something

so a player click a button and it changes the text of something and they click again and it changes again

Nvm that I suggest using os.time() and os.date()

12

alright so like a change time manually for a player like how you can on windows

13

So you are trying to get timezones?

14

No i am not just a click to change day on a calendar i made

15

I haven’t really used os.time() or os.clock() but you could do something like this

local Time – the amount of seconds since 2000
Time+= 86400
print(os.date("*t", TimeSince2000)) – will return a table containing the year, month, day etcetera of the current time based on the added amount which is 86400 seconds or 1 day every button click

local Button -- Button here

local TimeSince2000 = os.time({year = 2000, month = 1, day = 1, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0})

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Time += 86400
	print(os.date("*t", Time))
end)
16

So you want it to go to the next day everytime you click on it?

Try this? if it doesn’t work correctly then it’s most likely because I haven’t really done any research on the function, well I did just now for a few minutes.

local Button -- Button here

local TimeSince2000 = os.time({year = 2000, month = 1, day = 1, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0})

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	TimeSince2000 += 86400
	print(os.date("*t", TimeSince2000))
end)

Have a look at this os | Roblox Creator Documentation and then scroll down to day and you can probably get an answer from that.
