Lighting Glitch, help?

Asked 179 views1 answers

screen goes black like nighttime, and then when set to daytime, goes solid white, not normal like it should.

while true do
	wait(300)
	game.Lighting.Brightness = 0
	game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = "2:00:00"
	game.Lighting.Ambient = Color3.new(0,0,0)
	for _,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
		if v.Name == "Lantern" then
			v.PointLight.Enabled = true
		end
	end
		wait(300)
	game.Lighting.Brightness = 1
	game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = "12:00:00"
	game.Lighting.Ambient = Color3.new(128,128,128)
	for _,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
		if v.Name == "Lantern" then
			v.PointLight.Enabled = false
		end
	end
end

With the Color3.new(128,128,128) You need to divide it by 255. Anything like that, divide it by 255.

Well, I'm bad at explaining the why, but here's the how:

while true do
    wait(300)
    game.Lighting.Brightness = 0
    game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = "2:00:00"
    game.Lighting.Ambient = Color3.new(0,0,0)
    for _,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
        if v.Name == "Lantern" then
            v.PointLight.Enabled = true
        end
    end
        wait(300)
    game.Lighting.Brightness = 1
    game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = "12:00:00"
    game.Lighting.Ambient = Color3.new(128/255, 128/255, 128/255) -- Problem
    for _,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren())do
        if v.Name == "Lantern" then
            v.PointLight.Enabled = false
        end
    end
end

Color3 values other than 0 and 255 have to be divided by 255 to work correctly, because they have to be between 0 and 1.
