So basically, when it’s 18:00 I want it to do a function, pretty simple, no errors but doesn’t work.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
function paycheck()
print("PAYCHECK APE")
--rest of my code
--rest of my code
end
end)
if game.Lighting.ClockTime == 18 then
paycheck()
end
at the part “–rest of my code” is just copying gui and placing in playergui,
Nothing too complicated but tryna get it fixed.
Would it work if the ‘if’ statement was in a :GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime") connection for lighting?
Right now I believe [if nothing else wraps around the ‘if’ statement] that it checks only once when the server starts and returns false.
Let me try it out sir.
I’ll leave a comment if it worked or not
Didn’t work, no errors sadly.
Any other solutions you maybe got?
This is more of a backup, but could the GUI be handled client sided and triggered via a remote event?
That way you could run something like
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ClockTime"):Connect(function()
if Lighting.ClockTime == 18 then
-- fire a remote event with the correct arguments
end
end)
it’s a serverscript, I’m jus tryna copy paste a gui to the playergui for all, so is using serverscript fine?
Yeah, it should be.
If you use that event tree with the executed code inside of it, does it run properly or not?
[the pains of debugging… gah]
GetPropertyChangedSignal would be a right move here… U probably didnt from the code right
Doesn’t work sadly, no errors again..
The fact that it doesnt throw any errors makes this more weird than it normally would be.
Dumb question, if you put a print("|| PlayerUI || Code ran without error ||") inside of the if statement does it print when the time hits 18?
Nop.. still doesn’t print anything or function.
Give me a moment ~
I’m going to run this in a test place to try to force it to push some sort of error, or output at all.
Alright, if i won’t respond after is because i’m in a online class rn so it might take a while.
This is from the hub:
“Note, this property does not correspond with the actual time of day and will not change during the game unless it has been changed by a script.”
Maybe TimeOfDay would be the right move
That makes way more sense,
do what @nuttela_for1me suggested and use ‘TimeOfDay’
Use string.sub() or something to get the hour, then index that with ‘18’.
:GetPropertyChangedSignal() was my solution to that. It fires whenever a property updates.
Sum like this??
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
Lighting:GetPropertyChangedSignal("TimeOfDay"):Connect(function(player)
if Lighting.TimeOfDay == "18:00:00" then
print("|| PlayerUI || Code ran without error ||")
end
end)
If yes then my answer: didn’t work
Hmm I am not sure, bc I didnt really work with that, but he cun probably check for “18:00” as a whole string
I’m not sure what TimeOfDay uses, I don’t know if it’s a string or not.
Try using print(string.sub(Lighting.TimeOfDay, 1, 2)) and see if it returns the first two numbers.
