How do i make this work with the old time and the new time?

Asked by 6 years ago

I've been trying to make some sort of daily login bonus thing and I don't know how its not really working and I kinda get os.time but not really I tried getting the old time to compare from the new time and detect if its been 5 minutes or more.

--// Made by UltraUnitMode, 6/29/17

local Time = 300/60 -- 5 minutes 
local DS = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('TimeData')
local PS = game:GetService('Players')

game:BindToClose(function()
    wait(3)
end)

PS.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Plr)
    Key = Plr.UserId..'_Time'
    local CHECK = DS:GetAsync(Key)
    print(CHECK..' TIME')
    if not CHECK then
        local x = os.time()
        DS:SetAsync(Key, os.time())
    else
        if CHECK < os.time()*Time then
            print("It's been 5 mintues")
        end
    end
end)

PS.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(Plr)
    local x = os.time()
    DS:SetAsync(Key, x)
end)

You're almost right, just some comparative/logical errors.

  • Compare the difference between the two times, not whatever you were doing.

  • In the PlayerRemoving event, redefine 'Key' otherwise it is going to correlate to whoever last entered the game

local Time = 60*5 -- Actually 5 minutes
local DS = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('TimeData')

game:BindToClose(function()
    wait(3)
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Plr)
    local CHECK = DS:GetAsync(Plr.UserId)
    print(CHECK..' TIME')
    if CHECK then
        if os.time()-CHECK >= Time then --compare the difference
            print("It's been 5 mintues")
        end
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(Plr)
    DS:SetAsync(Plr.UserId, os.time())
end)
