I heard that it can help make a Daily Reward System, well, how can I use it then? the one who told me about this said it's hard, so am guessing I cant do print(os.time()) or anything similar... am looking into the Wiki and everywere I can about this, if ya got anything to say, tell me. |

hmmm... I though that u couldn't do that... well, how would I get the EXACT SAME Time? I'd rather my Timezone though (Middle, +0) but if it's more efficent or wat not to do their Time Zone then I'd like that too... cos I already have the Plan set up on how to give Rewards and tell the System if he's been Rewarded... |

wich do u mean not Trusted? I hear guys say its os.time and others say tick... so wich is actually not Trusted? tick()? is it cos u can set the Date in ur Computer and it will follow? |

Actually, the os library is locked, so you couldn't use it anyway. |

wat u mean 'cant use'? |
|
|
os = os or {}
os.time = tick
ROBLOX servers do not have synchronized times so even if you use tick() inside of a server script it still isn't reliable. You could use httpservice to get the actual time from a webpage or just use tick(). |

Its very simple. Use tick() from a serverscript to get unix time. Google unix time. Then all you have to do is check what day they logged in on math.floor(tick()/(24*60*60))
and give rewards when math.floor(tick()/(24*60*60)) is bigger than the last stored day. |

I tried print(math.floor(tick()/(24*60*60))) and I tried that a few times, I waited like a few mins, I see the Number is still the same, so I know I can trust this, thnx, I can already make my thing... btw, some of yas keep saying 'Get the Date using http Service, y is it so important if u can already get a Result from just doing math.floor(tick()/(24*60*60))? |

os.time() returns the time to the nearest second (Since 1970) in GMT (Probably).
So, if math.floor(os.time()/(86400)) ~= prevDay then its a new day! |
|
|
DO NOT USE tick()!
You will get time reverting randomly, depending on where the server is located. |
