os.time() not working properly as i want it?
I'm trying to print a string when the time when the game starts is equal or higher than the time 5 seconds from when the game starts.
But it's not working as expected, maybe i'm just silly here but i don't know.
local oneSecond = 1 local oneMinute = oneSecond * 60 local oneHour = oneMinute * 60 local oneDay = oneHour * 24 local oneYear = oneDay * 365 while wait() do local secondsOs = os.time() if secondsOs >= secondsOs + (oneSecond * 5) then print("Reward is up!") end end

local oneSecond = 1
local oneMinute = oneSecond * 60
local oneHour = oneMinute * 60
local oneDay = oneHour * 24
local oneYear = oneDay * 365
while wait() do
local secondsOs = os.time() -- It's on this line!! (I think)
if secondsOs >= secondsOs + (oneSecond * 5) then
print("Reward is up!")
end
end
So, I think it's because it's updating every wait()- oh, and also using wait() is a very bad idea!!- the secondsOs is also being updated so every wait() it checking if the current secondsOs is higher than itself + 5 seconds. Do you understand? So you need to do:
local oneSecond = 1
local oneMinute = oneSecond * 60
local oneHour = oneMinute * 60
local oneDay = oneHour * 24
local oneYear = oneDay * 365
local secondsOs = os.time() -- Not changed
while wait() do
local currentOs = os.time()
if currentOs >= secondsOs + (oneSecond * 10) then
print("Reward is up!")
else
print("pu si draweR") -- That's Reward is up backwards
end
end
instead. (I think)
