Making something print at a specified time?
I'm trying to make a sound play when a raid starts which begins at a specific time, (irl time) but when I tried to print something it didn't work.
local hour = os.date("!*t") ["hour"]
local minute = os.date("!*t") ["min"]
if hour == 7 and minute == 5 then
print("Hmm")
end
(I used print just to test it)
[EDIT]
local hour = os.date("!*t") ["hour"]
local minute = os.date("!*t") ["min"]
while true do
wait() --i added this so my game doesnt break
if hour == 2 and minute == 55 then
print("Hmm")
end
end

its important to know os.date uses UTC so maybe it didnt pass that proIua 32 — 5y

converts your hour to UTC hour proIua 32 — 5y

That code will only check once as soon as the game runs, so if it's not the correct time as soon as you hit the start button it wont work. You could put it in a loop instead to repeatedly check. mattscy 3725 — 5y

It works fine for me. Show us the updated version with your while loop. Cousin_Potato 129 — 5y

You need to also update the time variables inside the loop, otherwise they will be set only once at the beginning of the script and never again even as the clock increments.
while true do
local hour = os.date("!*t") ["hour"]
local minute = os.date("!*t") ["min"]
if hour == 14 and minute == 17 then
print("Hmm")
end
wait()
end
