Alright so currently, to track the day/month/year and weekday im using a singular number value from 1-365. However its not going so well, i’ve been so close but its calculating the days of the months wrong. Btw this is In-Game Time that starts what real world date.

local timeTable = os.date("*t")

local daysInMonths = {31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31}
local daysInMonthsConversion = {31,59,90,120,151,181,212,243,273,304,334,365}

game.Lighting.DayStats.Day.Value = timeTable.yday
game.Lighting.DayStats.Year.Value = timeTable.year
game.Lighting.DayStats.WeekDay.Value = timeTable.wday
game.Lighting.DayStats.Month.Value = timeTable.month

while true do
	wait()
	local daysInYear = 365
	local day = game.Lighting.DayStats.Day.Value
	
	local monthPassed = 0
	for x,passValue in pairs(daysInMonthsConversion) do
		if day > passValue then
			monthPassed = monthPassed+1
		end
	end
	local subtract = 0
	for x,v in pairs(daysInMonths) do
		if x <= monthPassed then
			subtract = subtract + v
		end
	end
	game.Lighting.DayStats.Month.Value = monthPassed+1
	game.Lighting.DayStats.MonthDay.Value = day-subtract-1
end

Can anyone point me to a resource that might help, and explain please?

I’m not too sure what exactly your code was doing, but I changed up the calculations a bit and got something that works correctly, as far as I can tell. If this isn’t suitable for your needs, let me know and I can try and help find a proper solution.

local timeTable = os.date("*t")

local daysInMonths = {31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31}
local daysInMonthsConversion = {31,59,90,120,151,181,212,243,273,304,334,365}

local Day = game.Lighting.DayStats.Day
local Year = game.Lighting.DayStats.Year
local WeekDay = game.Lighting.DayStats.WeekDay
local Month = game.Lighting.DayStats.Month
local MonthDay = game.Lighting.DayStats.MonthDay

Day.Value = timeTable.yday
Year.Value = timeTable.year
WeekDay.Value = timeTable.wday
Month.Value = timeTable.month

while true do
	Day.Value += 1
	Year.Value = math.floor(Day.Value / 365) + 1
	
	-- Modulo operation to get the correct day of the year and day of the week
	local day = Day.Value % 365
	local weekDay = day % 7
	
	-- Probably a better way to do mudolo above, set values to their max if they were previously at it
	if day == 0 then
		day = 365
	end
	
	if weekDay == 0 then
		weekDay = 7
	end
	
	WeekDay.Value = weekDay
	
	-- Iterate through table to get the correct month and monthday values
	for i,v in ipairs (daysInMonthsConversion) do
		if v >= day then
			Month.Value = i
			
			-- MonthDay is just day minus previous dayInMonths value, or just the day if the month is 1
			MonthDay.Value = day - (daysInMonthsConversion[i - 1] or 0)
			
			break
		end
	end
	
	task.wait(5)
end
