I want to make Real Daylight Cycle for my timezone Cet.

Its my code for my daylight time:

local minutesAfterMidnight = 0
while true do
	game.Lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(minutesAfterMidnight)
	minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + 1
	wait(0.1)
end

I cant look good tutorials and posts at devforum. Please help me!.

When you make a post that includes code try and use the code format as it makes it easier for the person helping to read.

daylight time: local minutesAfterMidnight = 0
while true do
game.Lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(minutesAfterMidnight)
minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + 1
wait(0.1)
end

Are you trying to make a system where the Day/night system where the time of day is dependent on the User’s timezone or just following a specific timezone? Either ways, both may require the use of os.date

For make this thing, You need to know about os at scripting.
Like: os.date or os.clock.
This will help you about os service:

You’d have to use os.date, passing in "!*t" to get UTC time, and add 1 to the hours since CET is UTC+1. Then get the current minutes with some math and use SetMinutesAfterMidnight. I think something like on the server should work

local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local currentTime = os.date("!*t", os.time())

local hours = currentTime.hour + 1
local minutes = currentTime.min
local seconds = currentTime.sec

while true do
	local toSet = (hours * 60) + minutes + (seconds / 60)
	lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(toSet)
	seconds += 1
	if seconds == 60 then seconds = 0; minutes += 1 end
	if minutes == 60 then minutes = 0; hours += 1 end
	if hours == 25 then hours = 0 end 
	wait(1)
end

this works, but the hour is about 1 hour earlier it comes

Because right now we’re i nthe CEST timezone, we’re 1 hour forward, it would be a bit complicated to set it up so it adds 1 hour or 2 hours depending on the month and day, so I think it’s best you choose one or the other
