Making live events

[AlemDev]

Hey there,
I’m a scripter who began scripting a couple of months ago.
I’m not asking you to feed me scripts but I was just wondering how I could make a live event.
A couple of games had some live events for example new year eves fireworks, etc. I was wondering how I could time something to happen.

So what I want is fireworks and animations to start at a certain time and so they can’t actually start before the time.
How would I do that?
Thanks! -Dj

How do live events work?

As seen with the recent Jailbreak event, it seems that live events are very beneficial to a game. But I never quite understood how they work. For example how do all servers have a mutual time for when an event occurs. I wish to add this to my game Anime Fighting Simulator which recently have been getting around 15k players concurrent daily, I do not want to add anything that could potentially break the entire game. I have many questions regarding them: Would live events need to be coded before …

How would I go about creating a live event?

Hello, I want to create a live event similar to games like “Jailbreak” but how would I go about doing this? I want it so that when it reaches a certain time in UTC the actions, (e.g. a model moving down) would start. So far I’ve tried to use the “wait()” command so that when I shut down the server, after the wait is over it starts but this is only client side not server side so the event would start at different times for everyone.

Live events for my game

Hello. I’m making a game that is almost complete. I’ve thought it’d be a great idea to add live events at pre-scheduled hours, across all servers, so I can keep the game fun and updated for the audience. An example of this is the Jailbreak volcano event, when this occurred a lot of players joined just to see the event happening live. My question: What’s the best way to do this? I’ve thought of using os.time to check the time and day, so that when it reaches the hour the event happens. But now t…

And many Tutorials for it too on youtube if you search for them.

I would constantly check with os or tick(). I would use os.date as tick is considerably harder in my opinion and I believe ROBLOX is deprecating it at some point (Not sure, I think someone was just assuming and I saw)

tick() hasn’t been deprecated just yet, at least according to the documentation page on Roblox-exclusive globals.

I know, but if you didn’t see I mentioned it apparently going to be. I may be wrong as I saw it from a non-roblox post, who knows.
