Player Login Rewards: How is os.time() implemented? [closed]

You could save the time of their last login in datastore and then see how much time has passed.

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("LastLogin")


Game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
    wait()
    local LastLogin = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.userId)
    if LastLogin then
        local Seconds = os.time()-LastLogin
        local Minutes = Seconds/60
        local Hours = Minutes/60
        print("It has been: "..Hours.." hours Since your last reward")
        if Hours >= 24 then
            print("You get a daily login award")
            DataStore:SetAsync(Player.userId,os.time())
        end
    else
        DataStore:SetAsync(Player.userId,os.time())
    end
end)

Script (I cannot post the script here as the site breaks it............)

The script is for a GUI. You can change the wait time in the loop to change the update rate. Or you can remove the loop as it will update whenever the player dies.

Just put this in a scriptinside a TextLabel

LastLogindefaults to os.time() in case the player has no value in DataStore. This should not happen because a value is assigned when a player joins the game for the first time but it does not hurt.

To find the TimeLeft I subtract the time since the players last reward by 24. I find the TimeLeft using the same method as before: subtracting from the current time and then dividing by 60 twice. It is just condensed into one statement instead of using multiple variables. Then I used some fancy string formatting and math to display the time left as a clock would.

Edits: Edited to not save when the player leaves :) Updated to show time in the correct format! Updated to show time in minutes and not a percentage Updated to be more efficient Updated to support Seconds
