How would I set a cross-server 24 hour timer that runs even when no servers are running?

I want to make a daily quest system, so I want it that every 24 hours it refreshes the quests. I’m not sure what I can use to do this.

You can use the new Random Class to create the same random number generator among all servers,then using that number you can create the daily quests

My question isn’t how I can create the daily quests itself, but how I can set a 24 hour timer that runs even when the player leaves (or some alternative that works like that).

If you want to learn about which times are best and the arguments and counter arguments for each time tracking method, here is the link to the post

idk if this will help but it will show you head on the disadvantages and advantages to doing this.

Which one should I use? time

tick() returns how many seconds have passed since the EPOCH time (January 1st 1970) in the machine’s timezone. os.clock() returns the amount of CPU time used by Lua in seconds. os.time()returns how many seconds have passed since the EPOCH time, however it is more precise and you can control the format, and which timezone it’s based on. tick() works fine in most cases, but os.time() is more precise so it should be used instead.
