How to use os.Time to print when its 8 pm?

Asked Mar 25, 2020229 views1 answers

if os.Time("*T",hour) == 20 then
	print("Its Time")
end

And what timezone does this use? UTC? Or EST

check the wiki, it uses the UTC timezone.

✓ Accepted answer

what you actually want to do is os.date("*t", os.time()). which will return a table, and then you can index .hour on it..

for instance:

local currentDate = os.date("*t", os.time())
if(currentDate.hour == 20) then
	print("it's 8 PM")
end
