I want to disable global shadows at night and enable it at the morning.

while true do
end
wait()
    if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == "06:30:00"
    then end
    game.Lighting.GlobalShadows = true

    if game.Lighting.ClockTime == "18:00:00"
    then
    game.Lighting.GlobalShadows = false

end

What is game.Lighting.GlobalShadows? A value? Leamir 3138 — 5y

This... oh man. This will never work. User#21908 42 — 5y

You have an infinite loop before the code. Not only will your code never reach the first if statement, it will also crash your game. User#21908 42 — 5y

This website does require you to post the code that you have tried. However, that does not mean putting some random stuff together. User#21908 42 — 5y

eh, I wouldn't really use TimeOfDay, i'd rather use ClockTime greatneil80 2647 — 5y

Hello, TheLondiux!

I've found lots of errors on your script:

1 - Use end to close a block of code, like a while, if, or any other code blocks that you need to close

2 - You don't need to place the then on the next line, it just makes your code harder to read

3 - If the object at game.Lighting.TimeOfDay is a value, you should add a .Value to gets it's value...

while true do -- Loop Starts here
    wait()
    if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == 06.5 then -- 6:30 -- First IF starts here
        game.Lighting.GlobalShadows = true
    end -- First IF ends here

    if game.Lighting.ClockTime == 18 then -- 18 -- Second IF starts here
        game.Lighting.GlobalShadows = false
    end -- Second IF ends here
end -- Loop ends here

Also, Scripting Helpers is not a place where you place a random script and we give you the answer, please post something that make sense with the question

Hope this helps

Good Luck with your games

Is this what you want to do?

Im new to scripting but here you go

while wait(1) do
    warn("OKASD")
    if game.Lighting.TimeOfDay == 6.5 then --"06:30:00"
        game.Lighting.GlobalShadows = true
        print("GlobShadows On")
    elseif game.Lighting.ClockTime == 18 then --"18:00:00"
        game.Lighting.GlobalShadows = false
        print("GlobShadows Off")
    end
end

You can delete the (print) lines thats for when you add your time system i am guessing

Don't give him the code, explain what you're doing Leamir 3138 — 5y
