How Do I Make A Model That Spawn On A Certain Of Time?
I can't figured it out how to make this script works. I'm trying to make the model that is in lighting and spawn onto the map on a certain of time like for example; when it turn night time, the model will appear on the map. How can I do that?
Here is the link to the model so you could have a better of understanding:

local Time = game.Lighting
local Bricks = game.Lighting.Z
Time.Changed:connect(function()
if Time.TimeOfDay == "14:00:00" then
Bricks.Parent = game.Workspace
end
end)
Thank You.

Alright I figured out whats wrong, and I tested it myself :). I used a coroutine to cycle through time below, so dont worry about that if you dont understand it, yet a good skill to learn! Your script is perfectly fine, i think the issue is with the script changing the time, take notice of GetMinutesAfterMidnight() and SetMinutesAfterMidnight(). If your other script is working fine the script you have above should work!
***I would store models in serverstorage, not game.Lighting, but up to you, either will work fine
local Time = game.Lighting
local Bricks = game.Lighting.Z -- Model location
Time.Changed:connect(function()
if Time.TimeOfDay == "14:00:00" then
print("Time of day acquired!")
Bricks.Parent = game.Workspace --Insert model
end
end)
--coroutine stuff to cycle through time
function ChangeTime()
while wait(.1) do
game.Lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() + 1)
end
end
changetime = coroutine.create(ChangeTime)
coroutine.resume(changetime)

local time = game.Lighting
local model = game.Lighting.ModelName:Clone()
local name = game.Lighting.ModelName.Name -- name of the model
local timeToSpawn = 18 -- when to clone model
local timeToRemove = 06 -- when to remove model
time.Changed:connect(function(property)
local t = time.TimeOfDay:sub(1,2) -- gets the hour
local num = tonumber(t) -- makes the string a number
if num then -- if it can be converted to a number
if num == timeToSpawn then -- if the time is right
if not game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(name) then -- makes sure there isn't the model in workspace
model.Parent = game.Workspace -- clones it
end
elseif num == timeToRemove then
if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(name) then -- checks to see if the model is in workspace
game.Workspace[name]:remove() -- removes the model
end
end
end
end
Hope I helped :)
