I want to make a daily login reward that players only get once a day.
But everywhere I look it shows something called "os.time" or "os.date" but they are apparently locked by roblox? Where do I get the current time and/or date for my datastore?

How do I use date and or time in a database?

We currently do not have access to os.date so we need to use os.time()/tick() which is epoch time. os.time returns the number of seconds since the epoch (1 January 1970, 00:00:00)
To work this out you would need to calculate how many seconds in year, month day ect.
Here are some links to help:-

Also I have made a module there are better mathematical approaches to this but I chose a logical approach.
There are also other questions on the SH forum which may help.
Hope this helps
