How would I make a daily rewards system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want to make a daily rewards system and I have only figured out how I could give the player the reward. What I haven’t figured out is how I would make the timer so that the player could collect the reward every day continuously. How do you think I would go about making this?

You will Have to Use os.time to Get a 24 Hours System,
And Save the Time to a datastore When the Player accepts the daily reward (Claims).

Saving DataStore with os.time would Be Something Like this.

Instead of Saving Time every time the Player Leaves, You need to Use a remote Event which You will Have to
Use By RemoteEvent:FireServer on the Client when the Player Claims it.

And

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent. For the Server.

This script is only for Checking if it Has been 24 Hours or Not.
You can Then set a Value Inside the Player Called “CanClaim”.

Now if it Has been 24 Hours, You can Set the Value to true.
Whenever the Player Joins, Just check if the value is true and if it is, You know you need to give a daily
reward to the Player.

So Prompt a Daily Reward GUI Or Something and then When the Player clicks the Claim Button,
Fire the Remote Event to the Server so it Saves the time.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local TickDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("tickCount")

local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")
local Players = PlayersService:GetPlayers()

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(PlayerWhoJoined)
	local LastJoinedData 
	local FoundData,NoData = pcall(function()
		LastJoinedData = TickDataStore:GetAsync(PlayerWhoJoined.UserId)
	end)
	if not FoundData or LastJoinedData == nil then
		warn(NoData)
	else 
		local CurrentTimeHours = (os.time())
		local EachDaySeconds = 60 * 60 * 24
		if CurrentTimeHours - LastJoinedData < EachDaySeconds then
		--	print(math.floor((CurrentTimeHours - LastJoinedData) + 0.5) .. " Seconds Since Last Visit For " .. PlayerWhoJoined.Name)
			local HoursSinceLastJoinDecimal = ((CurrentTimeHours - LastJoinedData) / 60) / 60
			local FinalHoursSinceLast = math.floor(HoursSinceLastJoinDecimal + 0.5)
			
			if FinalHoursSinceLast < 24 then -- Has Not Been 24 Hours 
				print("Not 24 Hours - Come Back In " .. (24 - FinalHoursSinceLast) .. " Hours")
			else
				print("Has Been 24 Hours")
			end
			
		end
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerClaimed.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local UserId = Player.UserId
	local Success,Errormessage = pcall(function()
		TickDataStore:SetAsync(UserId, (os.time())) -- Save As Seconds
	end)
	if not Success then
		warn(Errormessage)
	end
end)

Hm, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation, I’ll go research more on datastore since it’s the only issue I have with this method. <3
