Need help with day night cycle

[Remingling]

Hi,

I have a working day night cycle but I want to detect when it becomes night/day, problem is when I print(Night) or print(Day) it prints a bunch. I tried adding a debounce but it just breaks the coroutine. How do I deal with this? Should I be using repeat? This is a server script.

local Thread = coroutine.wrap(function(...) 
	repeat
		local currentTime = tick()

		if currentTime > endTime then
			startTime = endTime
			endTime = startTime + cycleTime
		end
		
		Lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight((currentTime - startTime)*timeRatio)	
		
		if Lighting.ClockTime >= 17.6 or Lighting.ClockTime <= 6.3  then
			print("Night")
		elseif Lighting.ClockTime <= 17.6 or Lighting.Clocktime >= 6.3 then
			print("Day")
		end
		
		wait()
	until false
end)

Because it runs so quickly as it can

If it’s running every frame and it is printing a bunch of times, then yes it’s working as intended because in your code, anywhere within 17.6 to 6.3(and vice versa) will activate the print statement.

So in order to print once, just check if

if Lighting.ClockTime == 17.6 then
	print("Night")
end

But this will continue printing given that the time is still equal to 17.6

so just throw in a variable like isNight

local isNight = false;
if Lighting.ClockTime == 17.6 and isNight == false then
	print("Night")
	isNight = true; -- for day time
end
if Lighting.ClockTime == 6.3 and isNight == true then
	print("Night")
	isNight = false; -- for night time
end
