Well, to be exact, I want to know how to check for the time it took for a function to run and get the time it took for the function to run. Is it possible to do that, and if so how?

You can get the current time using tick(). It returns the number of seconds that have passed since some time in history.
If I check the time now,
local before = tick() --> 1400
I do some work, and then I check back later:
local after = tick() -- 1500
I can see how much time has elapsed by taking the difference: after - before --> 100 seconds.
local before = tick()
do_some_work()
local elapsed = tick() - before
print("it took " .. elapsed .. "s to do_some_work")
