How do I check what time of the day it is in a script?
I've got a function in my script so that when (below) is true, it will trigger the loop.
1 | while game.Lighting.TimeOfDay > 070000 and game.Lighting.TimeOfDay < 210000 do |
The only problem is that my example doesn't work. The Output is telling me "attempt to compare number with string" So how am I supposed to check the TimeOfDay value within a script?

Your script doesn't work because the TimeOfDay property holds a string value; http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Lighting/TimeOfDay Redbullusa 1580 — 10y

Midnight is considered "00:00:00" In roblox's time format. So 07:00:00 will be 420 and 21:00:00 is considered to be 1260. And as this is within a while true dostatement, It will run for as long as the script exists, All you have to do is code what you want to happen between these times
01 | while true do |
02 | local minutes = game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() |
03 |
04 | if minutes >= 420 or minutes <= 1260 then |
05 | --Do stuff here |
06 | else |
07 | --Do something else here. |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | wait() |
11 | end |

Thank you! It works, I tried, but it just doesn't work with the script I'm trying to get it to work in. Hmm, maybe it's just me. I'll have to try and look for a fix. Thanks anyway. Nickyninja07 35 — 10y
