I am attempting to start a timer when the player clicks a button and stop the timer when the player touches a part. These function are ran through remote events and work fine, however, the gui displaying the time is 15-19 milliseconds quicker than the time being saved and sent to the server. For example, if the gui is displaying 00:06.633, the game will save the time as 00:06.650
local startTime = 0.000
local updateTimeLabelConn = nil
updateTimeLabelConn = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local currentTime = (os.clock() - startTime) * 1000
local minutes = math.floor(currentTime / 60000) -- Convert to minutes
local seconds = math.floor((currentTime % 60000) / 1000) -- Convert to seconds
local milliseconds = math.floor(currentTime % 1000)
timeLabel.Text = string.format("⏱️ %02d:%02d.%03d", minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
end)
FinishedEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(level)
if updateTimeLabelConn then
updateTimeLabelConn:Disconnect()
end
local finalTime = (os.clock() - startTime) * 1000
local minutes = math.floor(finalTime / 60000)
local seconds = math.floor((finalTime % 60000) / 1000)
local milliseconds = math.floor(finalTime % 1000)
local formattedTime = string.format("%02d:%02d.%03d", minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
print("Final Time:", formattedTime)
CompareTimeEvent:FireServer(finalTime, level)
end)
I believe the issue has something to do with the connection being stopped before the time is saved but I have tried changing how I save the time and when I save the time and it doesn’t really fix the actual issue. Could it also be the fact that I am attempting to save to the thousandths instead of hundredths?
Also I couldn’t find any solutions to this on the DevForum or YouTube.
