Is there anyway to run a function at a certain date & time?

[Treatmentfrom (thomas)]

Hello!

Is there anyway to run a function at a certain date and time? For example, the game would run a certain function in 5 days and then would not run the function again after that point in time.

Any help is good. Feel free to ask questions!

Thank you!

You could use os.time or tick() for the real time, here are some articles:

Tick() How do I use it?

I checked the developer wiki, tried looking up youtube videos. And yet I still have no idea how to use it, please help.

Os.time(), tick() or time()?

I’m making a system that awards people money every 3 hours of playtime, however, os.time() uses the local time on the PC (as far as I know) so that is exploitable by just changing the time on the PC. time or tick() And I also have an alien ray gun, that depends on using tick() too see if the player doesn’t shoot without a debounce. What would be best using for that? time or tick or os.time()? Gracias.
