So I was experimenting with Roblox scripting and I wanted make a little clock at the top of the screen for my Roblox game, I currently have a working day/night cycle. So my entire goal is to use the TimeOfDay property off lighting as a digital clock like in this format
12:00
If this is impossible I truly understand. Thank you in advance
Hey there, totally possible! You just have to learn how to use the Lua string library.
I searched up the TimeOfDay property of Lighting and found this on the wiki:
game.Lighting.TimeOfDay = "00:00:00"
This format is HH:MM:SS, so to get it into HH:MM, simply remove the :SS
local Lighting = game.Lighting
print(Lighting.TimeOfDay:sub(1, 5))
Hope that helps!

Thank you so much
or go overkill and use the % opperator on GetMinutesAfterMidnight :>
Yeah, you could use gsub or match, but given that the format is always the same, it makes the most sense to use the simple substring function.
