Make a clock that spins very fast

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I wanted to know if anyone knew how to make a clock spin very fast instead of just going off of real time? I cant find any kind of free model that does that! here the premade script. Can i edit this to make it spin crazy fast? or can anyone design a new one?

`local hours, minutes = string.match(game.Lighting.TimeOfDay, “^(%d%d):(%d%d)”)
script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(hours * 30)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.2, 0)
script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.3, 0)

game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function()
local hours, minutes = string.match(game.Lighting.TimeOfDay, “^(%d%d):(%d%d)”)
script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad((hours * 30)+ (minutes * 0.5))) * CFrame.new(0, 0.2, 0)
script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.3, 0)
end)

i do think its possible i just dont understand the math

#3

So instead of it being based on the game’s time you want it to just spin out of control for no appearant reason influencing how fast it’s going?

#5

I might be able to help you with that, this might take a second to type out since I’m on mobile.

#6

alright thank you. Sounds good

#7

this is pretty crazy, but I don’t know if it’s what you’re looking for

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local hours, minutes = string.match(game.Lighting.TimeOfDay, "^(%d%d):(%d%d)")
script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(hours * 30)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.2, 0)
script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.3, 0)

game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function()
	local hours, minutes = string.match(game.Lighting.TimeOfDay, "^(%d%d):(%d%d)")
	script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad((hours * 30)+ (minutes * 0.5))) * CFrame.new(0, 0.2, 0)
	script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.3, 0)
end)

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(20 ,Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -1, true)
local tween = TweenService:Create(game.Lighting, tweenInfo, {ClockTime = 24})
tween:Play()

local Hours, Minutes = 0, 0
while wait() do -- wait() is how fast it goes, setting it to 1 would be normal speed
  if Hours == 24 then 
	Hours = 0 
  end
  if Minutes == 60 then
	Hours = Hours + 1
	Minutes = 0	
  end
  script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi / 2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad((Hours * 30) + (Minutes * .5))) * CFrame.new(0, .2, 0)
  script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi / 2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(Minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, .3, 0)
end

This makes it spin quickly without setting the time itself.

ok that works! thank you! but i just realized I cant make my clock bigger! the entire point is i need a absolutely huge clock spinning very fast in the sky. Anyone know how to do that?

#10

Try rescaling the model as a whole? It seems like it uses the same CFrame math either way

#11

How can i do this all 3 sides at same time

#12

Instead of doing CFrame.new(0, .2, 0), you would do the minute/hour hand’s SizeX / 2, or whichever side length is 0.4/0.6 to begin with

#13

im very new to this how do i do that?

#14

Well, I don’t know what your clock looks like, but maybe try something like this:

local Hours, Minutes = 0, 0
while wait() do -- wait() is how fast it goes, setting it to 1 would be normal speed
  if Hours == 24 then 
	Hours = 0 
  end
  if Minutes == 60 then
	Hours = Hours + 1
	Minutes = 0	
  end
  script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi / 2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad((Hours * 30) + (Minutes * .5))) * CFrame.new(0, script.Parent.HourHand.Size.X/2, 0)
  script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi / 2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(Minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, script.Parent.MinuteHand.Size.X/2, 0)
end

i actually am now using another code that analyzes the game time! here is the new code! local hours, minutes = string.match(game.Lighting.TimeOfDay, “^(%d%d):(%d%d)”)
script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(hours * 30)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.2, 0)
script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.3, 0)

game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function()
local hours, minutes = string.match(game.Lighting.TimeOfDay, “^(%d%d):(%d%d)”)
script.Parent.HourHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad((hours * 30)+ (minutes * 0.5))) * CFrame.new(0, 0.2, 0)
script.Parent.MinuteHand.CFrame = script.Parent.HandCenter.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2, 0, 0) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(minutes * 6)) * CFrame.new(0, 0.3, 0)
end)

how can i make this clock bigger?
