Sciript: if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "20:00:00" then local Monster = game.ReplicatedStorage.NPC:Clone() Monster.Parent = workspace end

How to make npc not clone multiple times?

The reason why your NPC is spawning more than 1, is because the script keeps checking if the TimeOfDay is 20:00:00.
local canSpawn = false
local debounce = false
function loadNPC()
if canSpawn then
local Monster = game.ReplicatedStorage.NPC:Clone()
Monster.Parent = workspace
end
end
game.Lighting.Changed:Connect(function()
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() == 1200 then -- better way of checking time
if not debounce then
debounce = true
canSpawn = true
loadNPC()
canSpawn = false
wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end
end)
That should work, I tested it in studio. Please accept the answer if you found this a solution
it will clone until is 20:00:01, you can try adding a loop with a delay between them, i think it will work like that
if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "20:00:00" then
while true do
local Monster = game.ReplicatedStorage.NPC:Clone()
Monster.Parent = workspace
Wait(5)
end
end
or like this
local debounce = 1
if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "20:00:00" then
if debounce == 1 then
while true do
local Monster = game.ReplicatedStorage.NPC:Clone()
Monster.Parent = workspace
Wait(5)
debounce = 0
end
end
end

That can work too though.
