Explain what you did.

Well, :GetMinutesAfterMidnight() will do just that, get how many minutes the current time is after midnight. So 6 AM would be 360 minutes after midnight, and 6 PM is 1080 after midnight. To get the minutes after midnight, calculate what the hour is times 60

This Worked! Thanks!
game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function(property)
if property == game.Lighting.TimeOfDay then
if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "18:00:00" then
print("ITS 18!")
elseif game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "6:00:00" then
print("ITS 6")
end
end
end)
You dingus! you can't used the changed event on a specific property, it's meant for instances. Although it returns the property of the instance that was changed. so if we check if the property was TimeOfDay that changed, then we could successfully do the print.

Nope, Does not work.

i'd just use a while loop

The problem with your code jaffer is you had the script looking for the property, not the name. If you were to do it your way, you'd change "if property == game.Lighting.TimeOfDay then" to "if tostring(property) == "TimeOfDay" then"

tostring(property) will return "6:00:00"

No, it will not actually. To find the value of the property, you would have to find it again in the script by using game.Lighting.TimeOfDay.

Your problem is lines 3 and 5 of the code; The 'if' statement is only checking if Variable 'Time' is exactly equal to '1080' or '6:00:00'; 'TimeOfDay' runs by a 24 clock, but, the issue is that your comparing the 'TimeOfDay' to a specific time. :P
