How to work with and change Time Of Day?[SOLVED]

Asked by

I have no idea how to change the time of day in a script. Like in some games, the time of day changes, eventually from day, it gets to the afternoon, from the afternoon, night. That's what I'm trying to do, how exactly would I change the time?

Not entirely, I'm trying to get better at explaining scripting concepts. Plus if anyone encounters this problem again and sees the post, it shows them which answer was helpful. Merely 2122 — 10y

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

Lighting.TimeOfDay = "12:00:00"

TimeOfDay takes a string that represents the current time in hours, minutes, and seconds. You have to concatenate the numbers together into a string when setting TimeOfDay. Here's an example script that goes from night to day to night.

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
local seconds = 0

while true do
    for hours = 0, 23 do
        for minutes = 0, 59 do
            wait(0.1)
            Lighting.TimeOfDay = tostring(hours) .. ":" .. tostring(minutes) .. ":" .. tostring(seconds)
        end
    end
end
