Streetlight wont work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello. I was trying to make a working streetlight. Upon scripting, I failed (like always lol)
Script:

local lighting = game.Lighting
local lightpart = script.Parent.light

lightpart.SpotLight.Enabled = false

if lighting.ClockTime == 17.2-7 then
	lightpart.SpotLight.Enabled = true
elseif lighting.ClockTime == 7-17.2 then
	lightpart.SpotLight.Enabled = false
end

btw streetlight activates during night and is inactive during day

#2

Try using <,>, >= or <=

This is what it would look like:

if lighting.ClockTime >= 17.2 and lighting.ClockTime <= 7 then
   --Night
else
   --Day
end

Since “==” means “Is equal to” it will only happen (If time moves) IF it is that time.

Not the entire night cycle

#3

It does not work still.

abcdef

#4

you’re going to need a loop or Change detector

#5

Put it in a while loop

while wait() do
   --Code
end
#6

Or do that

This is better than a while loop

game.Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
	--Code
end)
#7

better to do property change signal:

lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal('ClockTime'):Connect(function(clockTime)

end)
#8 
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local lightpart = script.Parent.light

lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal('ClockTime'):Connect(function()

	lightpart.SpotLight.Enabled = false

	if lighting.ClockTime >= 17.2 or lighting.ClockTime < 7 then
		lightpart.SpotLight.Enabled = true
	else
		lightpart.SpotLight.Enabled = false
	end

end)

It works in run test but doesn’t work in play test???
EDIT: ok nvm it doesnt work when i change the lighting settings manually in playtest, gotta do it with admin cmds
