NPC Spawning just at night

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there, i was tryna make a NPC spawning just at the night and at the day he’s removed, and repeating like that, im not a good scripter so i ran onto some problems.

Day Script
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 18*60 then
	game.ServerScriptService.dValuee.Value = false
	if game.ServerScriptService.Valuee.Value = false then
		game.Workspace.Wendigo:Destroy()
	end
end
Night Script
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() < 6*60 then
	game.ServerScriptService.Valuee.Value = true
	if game.ServerScriptService.Valuee.Value = true then
		game.ServerStorage.Wendigo:Clone()
		game.ServerStorage.Wendigo.Parent = workspace
	end
end

Im seriously bad at scripting and some advice would help, if you want to know what day/night script im using , its the realism plugin one.

--Day Script
game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
    if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 1080 then
	    game.ServerScriptService.Valuee.Value = false
	    if game.ServerScriptService.Valuee.Value = false then
		    game.Workspace.Wendigo:Destroy()
	    end
    end
end)

--Night Script
game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
    if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() < 360 then
	    game.ServerScriptService.Valuee.Value = true
    	if game.ServerScriptService.Valuee.Value = true then
	    	game.ServerStorage.Wendigo:Clone()
	    	game.ServerStorage.Wendigo.Parent = workspace
	    end
    end
end)

My guess is that you’re not checking for the conditional check every time the time changes? Try this

I few things I would change in the above post,

  • It’s better to use GetService to get the services you’re referencing instead of a direct index
  • It can be using a single GetPropertyChangedSignal and using an if-elseif statement
  • If you’re only wanting to spawn a single Wendigo, you’d have to include the Valuee check in the if-elseif statement, not after
  • Put Valuee in a variable as you are referencing it many times for the same of organization

Here’s how I would do it

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

local valuee = ServerScriptService.Valuee

local wendigo

Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
    if Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 1080 and valuee.Value then
	    valuee.Value = false
		wendigo:Destroy()
		wendigo = nil
	elseif Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() < 360 and not valuee.Value then
		valuee.Value = true
		wendigo = ServerStorage.Wendigo:Clone()
	    wendigo.Parent = workspace
    end
end)
