Print the date and time?
How do you print the date/time in ROBLOX Lua? The code I tried was:
01 | debounce = false |
02 |
03 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(onTouched) |
04 | if debounce == true then return end |
05 | debounce = true |
06 | msg = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace) |
07 | msg.Text = os.date() |
08 | wait(2) |
09 | msg:Remove() |
10 | debounce = false |
11 | end) |
It did not seem to work. Is it even possible to display the date/time in Roblox Lua?

Roblox does not have os.date() so to get the date you could try this
01 | local Months ={'January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'} |
02 | local daysinmonth = {31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31} |
03 | local ctime = os.time() |
04 | local year = math.floor(ctime/60/60/24/365.25+1970) |
05 | local day = math.ceil(ctime/60/60/24%365.25) |
06 | for k, dim in pairs(daysinmonth) do |
07 | if day > dim then |
08 | day = day - dim |
09 | else |
10 | month = Months[k] |
11 | break |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | if day < 10 then day = '0' .. tostring(day);end |
So for exampleprint(day .. ' ' .. month .. ' ' .. year)
would be 13 August 2014
