Script that performs action while servers are closed

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This is a poorly written title but I don’t know how to describe it.

Have you ever played a game with daily gifts where you have to wait exactly 24 to receive another daily gift? What service or tool do those scripts use? How can I time something while a server is closed?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for the poor explanation.

You can’t run code while servers are offline, but you can use Roblox’s os API to check the date, and store it in a DataStore. Then upon their rejoining, check the DataStore to see if a day has passed.

You’ll want to be using os.date()
