I need a time function that uses one time zone

I NEED MS, OS.TIME() WILL NOT SUFFICE

---

I’m trying to sync an animation between clients using a command. My main issue is that there is a delay between them because of ping. I’m trying to account for the trip time on the syncing client by returning the current time position of the animation with the current tick and then the client that gets this data uses the time position returned plus the difference between the given tick and the current tick. HOWEVER, tick() uses local time. If both clients are in different time regions this will not work. I want an alternative that uses the same time zone or any workaround.

sync an animation between clients

I’m not an expert on the topic but I do know @Fluffmiceter has made a syncing tech which seems to sync tick() on clients and server to do some stuff and it sounds like what you are looking for. Have you checked this out?

• Firstly, I have observed that when you simulate a client and server in Play Solo, tick() is perfectly in sync for both the client and server. I used this knowledge to first extensively study Roblox’s networking behavior, discovering how Roblox fires off signals in larger packages which happen every few frames.

*DO NOT USE* High precision clock syncing tech between clients and server with accuracy of <1ms

This module is now obsolete, as workspace:GetServerTimeNow() returns a synced clock with performance that is on par with, sometimes better than this module. . . . . . .
