How to use TimeOfDay?
So, for my game I am teleporting all of the players into a certain area of my map.
In a separate script I have the time changing.
Here is my code:
01 | local target = CFrame.new(207.73, 1.5, 4065.287) |
02 | local tod = game.Lighting.TimeOfDay |
03 | game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function(TimeOfDay) |
04 | if tod == "00:03:20" then |
05 | print("Time if passed.") |
06 | for i, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
07 | if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") then |
08 | print("char check and torso check passed.") |
09 | player.Character.Torso.CFrame = target + Vector3.new(0, i * 5, 0) |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
So, am I just using time of day wrong? I'm thinking the if statement isn't working but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Oh and, there are also no errors

Your Problem
When you define tod on line 2 then the value becomes static, meaning it will never change unless manually changed. If you want the value to change then don't index TimeOfDay when defining 'tod', but index it when checking 'tod'.
Code
01 | local target = CFrame.new(207.73, 1.5, 4065.287) |
02 | local tod = game.Lighting |
03 |
04 | game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function(TimeOfDay) |
05 | if tod.TimeOfDay == "00:03:20" then |
06 | print("Time if passed.") |
07 | for i, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
08 | if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") then |
09 | print("char check and torso check passed.") |
10 | player.Character.Torso.CFrame = target + Vector3.new(0, i * 5, 0) |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |

Thanks dude! With a few changes, this has ended up working perfectly. novipak 70 — 9y

You should not set a variable to a value of an object. You should use the .Changed function on the object and then check if its value is different.
01 | local target = CFrame.new(207.73, 1.5, 4065.287) |
02 | local lighting = game.Lighting |
03 |
04 | lighting.Changed:connect(function() |
05 | if lighting.TimeOfDay == "00:03:20" then |
06 | for i,v in next,game.Players:GetChildren() do |
07 | v.Character.Torso.CFrame = target + Vector3.new(0, i * 5, 0) |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
