Hey guys!
So I want a building to change the materials for it's windows according to the time and for some reason this doesn't work. Help?
Code:
local light = script.Parent.Model:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #light do
wait(0.1)
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 6 * 60 then
light[i].Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
end
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 18 * 60 then
light[i].Material = Enum.Material.Neon
end
end
lightPart = workspace.lights:GetChildren() -- Table containing all of the lights
function changeMaterial(material)
for i, v in pairs(lightPart) do -- Iterates through all the lights
v.Material = material -- Sets each light's material
end
end
game.Lighting.Changed:connect(function(property) -- This will fire whenever the time changes, so that you don't have to use a 'while true do' loop
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() == 6 * 60 then
changeMaterial(Enum.Material.Plastic) -- Calls function to change light's material
end
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() == 18 * 60 then
changeMaterial(Enum.Material.Neon) -- Calls function to change light's material
end
end)
Just change lightPart's location with wherever your Model with the lights is.
((you should also place the script into serverscriptstorage))
Thanks, it worked :D
local light = script.Parent.Model:GetChildren()
--if this doesn't work, then it has to do something with: if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 6 * 60
for i = 1, #light do
wait(0.1)
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 6 * 60 then
if light[i]:IsA('BasePart') then -- detects if it is a part
light[i].Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
end
end
if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() > 18 * 60 then
if light[i]:IsA('BasePart') then
light[i].Material = Enum.Material.Neon
end
end
end

Try droppin a line between the L and end. Might be the issue, or its because Model or Enum is in capitals, Reply back if this helps!
What is the length of light variable? if it is equal to 1, then the loop wont run
