Why is this subscrition system code not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to do a subscription system using os.date, but it’s not working fine and I really can’t see why it isn’t working.

game.ReplicatedStorage.Comminications.Place.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,place)
	date = os.date("*t", os.time())
	local DataName = DataService:GetDataStore(place)
	if place == "Admin" then
		out("Waiting for Teleport Service...")
		local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
		local teleportData = {
			DataStore = place
		}
		TeleportService:Teleport(7122358798, plr, teleportData)
	else
		local s, e = pcall(function()
			local expire = DataName:GetAsync("Subscription")
			print("D: "..date.month.." | E:"..expire.month)
			if date.year >= expire.year and date.month >= expire.month and date.day >= expire.day then --and date.hour >= expire.hour and date.min >= expire.min and date.sec >= expire.sec then
				out("Waiting for Teleport Service...")
				local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")
				local teleportData = {
					DataStore = place
				}
				TeleportService:Teleport(7122358798, plr, teleportData)
			else
				out("ERROR#002 > Code Expired!")		
			end
		end)
		if e then
			out("ERROR#001 > Invalid code!")
		end
	end
end)

Any idea on what’s wrong with my code?

#2

What is “out” supposed to do exactly?

#3

It’s a function that displays a visual message on player’s Gui

#4

Also what exactly isn’t working?
Is it not teleporting you?
Do you get all the messages that it sends properly?
Any error messages?

#5

It always says that the code is expired (and it’s not expired)

From what I see the error is somewhere in this if statement although I am not sure what it is due to lack of information.

Could you send a before the if statement: print(date.year) print(expire.year) print(date.month) print(expire.month) print(date.day) print(expire.day)
And send me the output.

Nevermind, hold on. Let me take a look.

#9

Oops, that’s a really stupid error… Although now it says that all the codes are expired, expired and active ones. I checked with >= and it says expired codes are active and active ones are expired, but changing to <= just says that everything is expired

#10

That’s because 8 < 12 but 28 > 20

#11

Well, reading what I said, I just realized that just moving the code that teleports and the code that says the code is expired works fine

Nevermind, you are right lol

#12

One thing I can think of is make the script check if the year is <= 2021 IF IT IS then check if the month is <= 12 IF IT IS then check if day is <= 20

Basically if the month is smaller than 12 the script won’t need to check the day since it knows it’s not expired.

#13

I’ll try with that, I’ll let you know if it works

#14

Thanks, it worked!
