Make a day and night cycle script smooth?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made a day and night cycle script that basically adds to the ClockTime/TimeOfDay
one problem is that I do it in a while task.wait() loop, which basically makes it very fast.
If I add a 0.1 wait for example, the cycle slows down (duh) but the sun/moon moves choppy

Here’s the script:

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local Minute = 60
local CurrentTime = 12 * Minute
local Time = CurrentTime * 1.6
local Increment = 3

local IsDay = false
local IsNight = false
local NotedDay = false
local NotedNight = false

while task.wait(0.1) do -- choppy movement because of 0.1
	Lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(CurrentTime)
	CurrentTime += Increment
	Time = CurrentTime * 1.6
	
	if Time <= 2400 then -- TimeOfDay: 24:00:00
		if Time >= 629 and Time <= 1999 then -- If TimeOfDay == 06:30:00 and < 20:00:00
			IsDay = true
			if not NotedDay then
				NotedDay = true
				warn("TIME_SCIPT :: TIME: 6:30 (DAY, 6AM)")
			end
		elseif Time >= 2000 then -- If TimeOfDay == 20:00:00
			IsNight = true
			if not NotedNight then
				NotedNight = true
				warn("TIME_SCIPT :: TIME: 20:00 (NIGHT, 8PM)")
			end
		end
	elseif Time >= 2400 then -- If TimeOfDay == The end of day
		CurrentTime = 0 -- Reset day timer
		NotedDay = false
		NotedNight = false
	end
end

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

local Minutes = 7 * 60

while task.wait() do
	Lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(Minutes)
	Minutes = Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight()

	if Minutes > 19 * 60 then
		Minutes += 0.125 -- change this to desired speed just try arround a bit
	elseif Minutes > 7 * 60 then
		Minutes += 0.0625 -- change this to desired speed just try arround a bit
	else
		Minutes += 0.125 -- change this to desired speed just try arround a bit
	end
end
